# I will put a plumb line among my people Israel
Judging the people and determining they are wicked is spoken of as if the Israelites were a wall, and Yahweh determines the wall is not straight by using a plumb line. Alternate translation: "my people Israel are wicked. They are like a wall that is not straight up and down" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
