Amos 7:1-6

ERV(i) 1 Thus the Lord GOD shewed 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 GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: how shall Jacob stand? for he is small. 3 The LORD repented concerning this: It shall not be, saith the LORD. 4 Thus the Lord GOD shewed me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire; and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land. 5 Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: how shall Jacob stand? for he is small. 6 The LORD repented concerning this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.
