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.)

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!"

3 The LORD relented concerning this: "It won't take place,"

4 says the LORD. This is what the LORD God showed me: The LORD God was calling for judgment with fire, and it devoured the great deep and was eating up part of the land.

5 Then I said, "LORD God, I beg you, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!"

6 The LORD relented concerning this: "This also won't take place,"

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