Amos 7:1-3

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

7 Thus the Lord God showed me [Amos], and behold, He formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the second crop, and behold, it was the second crop after the king’s mowings.

² And when [the locusts] had finished eating the plants of the land, then I said, O Lord God, forgive, I pray You. How can Jacob stand? For he is so small!

³ The Lord relented and revoked this sentence: It shall not take place, said the Lord [and He was eased and comforted concerning it].
