1 The sovereign LORD showed me this: I saw him making locusts just as the crops planted late were beginning to sprout. (The crops planted late sprout after the royal harvest.) 2 When they had completely consumed the earth's vegetation, I said, |Sovereign LORD, forgive Israel! How can Jacob survive? He is too weak!| 3 The LORD decided not to do this. |It will not happen,| the LORD said. 4 The sovereign LORD showed me this: I saw the sovereign LORD summoning a shower of fire. It consumed the great deep and devoured the fields. 5 I said, |Sovereign LORD, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is too weak!| Amos 7:1-5, New English Translation.
