Amos 7:1-6

Amos 7:1-6

[1] Thus hath the Lord  GOD  shewed  unto me; and, behold, he formed  grasshoppers  in the beginning  of the shooting up  of the latter growth;  after  the king's  mowings.  [2] And it came to pass, that when they had made an end  of eating  the grass  of the land,  then I said,  O Lord  forgive,  I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob  arise?  for he is small.  [3] The LORD  repented  for this: It shall not be, saith  the LORD.  [4] Thus hath the Lord  GOD  shewed  unto me: and, behold, the Lord  GOD  called  to contend  by fire,  and it devoured  the great  deep,  and did eat up  a part.  [5] Then said  I, O Lord  GOD,  cease,  I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob  arise?  for he is small.  [6] The LORD  repented  for this: This also shall not be, saith  the Lord  GOD.
