Amos 7:1-3

GOD’S WORD Translation

The Lord Threatens to Bring a Famine by Locusts

7 This is what the Almighty Lord showed me: He was preparing swarms of locusts when the second crop was being harvested. It was the harvest that followed the harvest for the king. ² When the locusts had finished eating every plant in the land, I said, “Almighty Lord, please forgive us! How can ⌞the descendants of⌟ Jacob survive? There are so few of them.”

³ The Lord changed his plans about this. “This won’t happen,” the Lord said.
