Amós 7

World English Bible

¹Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: and behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and behold, it was the latter growth after the king’s harvest. ²When they finished eating the grass of the land, then I said, “Lord Yahweh, forgive, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small.” ³Yahweh relented concerning this. “It shall not be,” says Yahweh. ⁴Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me and behold, the Lord Yahweh called for judgment by fire; and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land. ⁵Then I said, “Lord Yahweh, stop, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small.”
