The Book of the Prophet Amos

Thus the Lord God showed me: Behold, He formed locust swarms at the beginning of the late crop; indeed it was the late crop after the king's mowings.

And so it was, when they had finished eating the grass of the land, that I said: "O Lord God, forgive, I pray! Oh, that Jacob may stand, for he is small!"

So the LORD relented concerning this. "It shall not be," said the LORD.

Thus the Lord God showed me: Behold, the Lord God called for conflict by fire, and it consumed the great deep and devoured the territory.

Then I said: "O Lord God, cease, I pray! Oh, that Jacob may stand, for he is small!"
