Amos 7:1-3 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.
