Amos 7:3-6

JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 3 The LORD repented concerning this; 'It shall not be', saith the LORD. 4 Thus the Lord GOD showed 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.
