Amos 7:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² The locusts stripped the land clean. Then I cried out, “Lord and King, forgive Israel! How can Jacob’s people continue? They are such a weak nation!”

³ So the Lord had pity on them.

“I will let them continue for now,” he said.

⁴ The Lord and King gave me a second vision. He was using fire to punish his people. It dried up the deep waters. It burned the land up.
