Amos 7:1-4 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. This is what the Lord God showed me: He was forming a locust swarm when the late growth began to come up (the late growth after the king’s mowing).

2. When they had finished eating the grass in the land, I said:Forgive, O Lord God!Who will raise up Jacob?He is so small!

3. The Lord relented concerning this. “This shall not be,” said the Lord God.

4. This is what the Lord God showed me: He was summoning a rain of fire. It had devoured the great abyss and was consuming the fields.
