Amos 7:2-6

2When the locusts had finished eating every plant in the land, I said, “Almighty Lord, please forgive us! How can ⌞the descendants of⌟ Jacob survive? There are so few of them.”

3The Lord changed his plans about this. “This won’t happen,” the Lord said.

4This is what the Almighty Lord showed me: The Almighty Lord was calling for judgment by fire. The fire dried up the ocean and burned up the land.

5Then I said, “Almighty Lord, please stop! How can ⌞the descendants of⌟ Jacob survive? There are so few of them.”

6The Lord changed his plans about this. “This won’t happen either,” the Almighty Lord said.
