Amos 7:2-6 It happened when they quit eating the grass of the land. I said, »O Lord Jehovah, forgive, I entreat you: how shall Jacob stand? Since he is so small.«

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ² It happened when they quit eating the grass of the land. I said, »O Lord Jehovah, forgive, I entreat you: how shall Jacob stand? Since he is so small.« ³ Jehovah changed his mind about this. »It will not be,« said Jehovah. ⁴ The Lord Jehovah showed me and, behold, the Lord Jehovah called for judgement (contention) by fire and it devoured the great deep. It would have eaten up the land. ⁵ Then I said, »O Lord Jehovah, cease, I plead with you: how can Jacob stand? After all he is small.« ⁶ Jehovah changed his mind concerning this: »This also will not be,« said the Lord Jehovah.
