The book of Amos is not one we quote from or allude to a lot, but when we do, it's usually in the context of the plumb line. God sets up justice in the world like a careful portrait-hanger using a level!

Ending a line with "sure" in context meant something like "certain, reliable" in the context of "abundant, cleansing, sure" (ways you can describe a stream, as well as God's justice). In this century it runs the risk of sounding like the interjection "sure!" "God's love is very...abundant. Sure. Yeah, we'll go with that."
