Amos 7:1-6 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. This is what my Lord Yahweh showed me, and look, he is going to form locusts at the beginning of the sprouting of the second crop, and look, after the mowings of the king.

2. And then when they finished eating the vegetation of the land, I said, “O Lord Yahweh, please forgive! How can Jacob stand, because he is small?”

3. Yahweh relented concerning this. “It will not be,” said Yahweh.

4. This is what my Lord Yahweh showed me, and look, my Lord Yahweh was going to call for a legal case with fire, and it devoured the great deep and it ate up the plots of ground.

5. Then I said, “O Lord Yahweh, please stop! How can Jacob stand, because he is small?”

6. Yahweh also relented concerning this. “This also will not be,” said my Lord Yahweh.
