Amos 7:2-5 It happened that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, "Lord GOD, forgive, I beg you. How could Jacob stand? For he is small."

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ² It happened that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, "Lord GOD, forgive, I beg you. How could Jacob stand? For he is small." ³ The LORD relented concerning this. "It shall not be," says the LORD. ⁴ This is what the LORD showed me: And look, the LORD called for judgment by fire; and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land. ⁵ Then I said, "Lord GOD, stop, I beg you. How could Jacob stand? For he is small."
