1 Thus the Lord GOD 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 if it had come to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land--so 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 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.
