Amos 7:1-3

Contemporary English Version

A Vision of Locusts

7 The Lord God showed me that he is going to send locusts^[a] to attack your crops. It will happen after the king has already been given his share of the grain and before the rest of the grain has been harvested.^{[b] 2} In my vision the locusts ate every crop in the land, and I said to the Lord, “Please forgive your nation. It's so weak. How can it survive?”

³ Then the Lord felt sorry and answered, “I won't let it be destroyed.”
