Amos 7:2-6

2In my vision the locusts ate every green plant in sight. Then I said, “O Sovereign Lord, please forgive us or we will not survive, for Israel is so small.”

3So the Lord relented from this plan. “I will not do it,” he said.

4Then the Sovereign Lord showed me another vision. I saw him preparing to punish his people with a great fire. The fire had burned up the depths of the sea and was devouring the entire land.

5Then I said, “O Sovereign Lord, please stop or we will not survive, for Israel is so small.”

6Then the Lord relented from this plan, too. “I will not do that either,” said the Sovereign Lord.
