Amos 7:2-6

2 And it came about, ^{▼▼Lit if}when it had ^bfinished eating the vegetation of the land, that I said,

“ ^cLord God, please pardon!
How can Jacob stand?
For he is ^dsmall.”
3 The Lord ^erelented of this.
“It shall not be,” said the Lord.
4 So the Lord God showed me, and behold, the Lord God was calling to contend with them by ^ffire, and it consumed the great deep and began to consume the ^{▼▼Lit plot of land}farmland. 5 Then I said,

“ ^hLord God, please stop!
ⁱHow can Jacob stand?
For he is small.”
6 The Lord ^jrelented of this.
“This too shall not be,” said the Lord God.
