Amos 7:1-6

ACV(i) 1 Thus the lord LORD showed me: And, behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth, and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings. 2 And it came to pass that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O lord LORD, forgive, I beseech thee. How shall Jacob stand, for he is small? 3 LORD relented concerning this. It shall not be, says LORD. 4 Thus the lord LORD showed me: And, behold, the lord LORD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land. 5 Then I said, O lord LORD, cease, I beseech thee. How shall Jacob stand, for he is small? 6 LORD relented concerning this. This also shall not be, says the lord LORD.
