1-2. God, my Master, showed me this vision: He was preparing a locust swarm. The first cutting, which went to the king, was complete, and the second crop was just sprouting. The locusts ate everything green. Not even a blade of grass was left.I called out, “God, my Master! Excuse me, but what’s going to come of Jacob? He’s so small.”
3. God gave in.“It won’t happen,” he said.
4. God showed me this vision: Oh! God, my Master God was calling up a firestorm. It burned up the ocean. Then it burned up the Promised Land.
5. I said, “God, my Master! Hold it—please! What’s going to come of Jacob? He’s so small.”
6. God gave in.“All right, this won’t happen either,” God, my Master, said.
