1 This is what the LORD God showed me: The LORD God was forming locusts at the time the late grass began to sprout. (It was the late grass after the king's harvest.)
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 finished eating the green plants of the land, I said, "LORD God, please forgive! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!"
2
When they had stripped the land clean, I cried out, “Sovereign LORD, forgive! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!”
3 The LORD relented concerning this: "It won't take place,"
3
So the LORD relented. “This will not happen,” the LORD said.
