Amos 7:1-6 (Good News Translation)
View In My Bible
1
I had a vision from the Sovereign Lord. In it I saw him create a swarm of locusts just after the king's share of the hay had been cut and the grass was starting to grow again.
2
In my vision I saw the locusts eat up every green thing in the land, and then I said, "Sovereign Lord, forgive your people! How can they survive? They are so small and weak!"
3
The Lord changed his mind and said, "What you saw will not take place."
4
I had another vision from the Sovereign Lord. In it I saw him preparing to punish his people with fire. The fire burned up the great ocean under the earth and started to burn up the land.
5
Then I said, "Stop, O Sovereign Lord! How can your people survive? They are so small and weak!"
6
The Lord changed his mind again and said, "This will not take place either."
