Amos 7:1-6

The LORD Gives Amos Three Visions

1 The LORD and King gave me a vision. He was bringing large numbers of locusts on the land. The king's share of the first crop had already been harvested. Now the second crop was coming up.
2 The locusts stripped the land clean. Then I cried out, "LORD and King, forgive Israel! How can Jacob's people continue? They are such a weak nation!"
3 So the LORD had pity on them. "I will let them continue for now," he said.
4 The LORD and King gave me a second vision. He was using fire to punish his people. It dried up the deep waters. It burned the land up.
5 Then I cried out, "LORD and King, please stop! How can Jacob's people continue? They are such a weak nation!"
6 So the LORD had pity on them. "I will let them continue for now," the LORD and King said.
