 <div class="p">1This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me: He was preparing swarms of locusts after the king&#8217;s share had been harvested and just as the late crops were coming up. 2When they had stripped the land clean, I cried out, &#8220;Sovereign Lord, forgive! How can Jacob survive?

Go back to the land of Judah.
