Dalí's Illustrations of the Bible | Amos 7:7-8
"Then the Lord showed me this: he was standing by a wall, with a plumb line in his hand. The Lord asked me, “What do you see, Amos?” I replied, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said: Behold, I am setting a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel; never again will I forgive their offenses."
"Et ecce Dominus stans super murum litum, et in manu eius trulla caementarii. Ecce ego ponam trullam in medio populi mei"
