Amos 7:1-6
1This is what the Lord 1God showed me, and behold, He was forming a 2swarm of locusts 3when the spring crop began to sprout. And behold, the spring crop was after the king’s mowing. 2And it came about, 4when it had 5finished eating the vegetation of the land, that I said, “6Lord God, please pardon! How can Jacob stand? For he is 7small.”3The Lord 8relented of this. “It shall not be,” said the Lord.
4So the Lord God showed me, and behold, the Lord God was calling to contend with them by 9fire, and it consumed the great deep and began to consume the 10farmland. 5Then I said, “11Lord God, please stop! 12How can Jacob stand? For he is small.”6The Lord 13relented of this. “This too shall not be,” said the Lord God.
