New International Version

Amos 7:1-3 New International Version (NIV)

1. This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me: He was preparing swarms of locusts after the king’s share had been harvested and just as the late crops were coming up.

2. When they had stripped the land clean, I cried out, “Sovereign Lord, forgive! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!”

3. So the Lord relented. “This will not happen,” the Lord said.
