Amos 7:2-6 And if it had come to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land - so I said: O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech Thee; how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ² And if it had come to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land - so I said: O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech Thee; how shall Jacob stand? for he is small. ³ The LORD repented concerning this; 'It shall not be', saith the LORD. ⁴ Thus the Lord GOD showed me; and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire; and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land. ⁵ Then said I: O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech Thee; how shall Jacob stand? for he is small. ⁶ The LORD repented concerning this; 'This also shall not be', saith the Lord GOD.
