the plummet
2 Kings 21:13
21:13 the plummet. The plummet is a surveyor’s weighted line suspended from the top of a wall or column to tell whether it is standing straight; if not, it will be torn down and rebuilt. The line is the surveyor’s tape used to measure the dimensions of the structure. Jerusalem and its king had failed by every standard, and God would have to remove it from its place and start again later.
