Amos 7:1-3

Holman Christian Standard Bible

First Vision: Locusts

7 The Lord God showed me this: He was forming a swarm of locusts^(A) at the time the spring crop first began to sprout—after the cutting of the king’s hay. ² When the locusts finished eating the vegetation of the land,^(B) I said, “Lord God, please forgive!^(C) How will Jacob survive since he is so small?”^(D)

³ The Lord relented concerning this.^(E) “It will not happen,” He said.
