'Lord Said' in the Bible

The Lord said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said,“Behold, I am setting a plumb line [as a standard]Among My people Israel [showing the defectiveness of the nation, requiring judgment].I shall not spare them any longer. [The door of mercy is shut.]

But the Lord took me as I followed the flock and the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to My people Israel.’
