Amos 7:1-6
Amos 7:1-6 NCV
This is what the Lord GOD showed me: He was forming a swarm of locusts, after the king had taken his share of the first crop and the second crop had just begun growing. When the locusts ate all the crops in the country, I said, “Lord GOD, forgive us. How could Israel live through this? It is too small already!” So the LORD changed his mind about this. “It will not happen,” said the LORD. This is what the Lord GOD showed me: The Lord GOD was calling for fire to come down like rain. It burned up the deep water and was going to burn up the land. Then I cried out, “Lord GOD, stop! How could Israel live through this? It is too small already.” So the LORD changed his mind about this too. “It will not happen,” said the Lord GOD.
