Amos 7:1-3

Modern English Version

Plague of Locusts

7 This is what the Lord God showed me: He was forming a plague of locusts when the latter growth was beginning to sprout up, the latter growth after the king’s reaping. ² When they had finished devouring the foliage of the land, I said, “O Lord God, please forgive. How can Jacob survive? For he is small.”

³ The Lord relented concerning this:

“It shall not be,” said the Lord.
