• Newari: “The LORD said to me, "Amos what do you see?"

  And the Lord said, "see I will put a plumb line among my people Israel. Now I will no longer spare them.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “The Lord asked me, ‘Amos, what did you (sing.) see?’ I replied, ‘(A) something-to-use-as-measuring.’ Then he said, ‘According to my measurement, the life of my people from-Israel is not right/[lit. straight]. Therefore at this time I will- no-longer -have-compassion on them.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Yahweh asked me, ‘Amos, what do you see?’
  I replied, ‘A plumb line.’
  Then Yahweh said, ‘Look, I am going to use a plumb line among my Israeli people, to show that they are like a wall that is not straight. I will not change my mind again about punishing them.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
