Amos 7:2-5
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 7

2And it came about, when it had finished eating the vegetation of the land, that I said, 'Lord God, please pardon! How can Jacob stand? For he is small.' 3The Lord relented of this. 'It shall not be,' said the Lord.
4So the Lord God showed me, and behold, the Lord God was calling to contend with them by fire, and it consumed the great deep and began to consume the farmland.
5Then I said, 'Lord God, please stop! How can Jacob stand? For he is small.'
King James Version

Chapter 7

2And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord God, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
3The Lord repented for this: It shall not be, saith the Lord.
4Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord God called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
5Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

Chapter 7

2In my vision the locusts ate every green plant in sight. Then I said, 'O Sovereign Lord, please forgive us or we will not survive, for Israel is so small.'
3So the Lord relented from this plan. 'I will not do it,' he said.
4Then the Sovereign Lord showed me another vision. I saw him preparing to punish his people with a great fire. The fire had burned up the depths of the sea and was devouring the entire land. 5Then I said, 'O Sovereign Lord, please stop or we will not survive, for Israel is so small.'
