This is what the Sovereign LORD showed me: The Sovereign LORD was calling for judgment by fire; it dried up the great deep and devoured the land.
5 Then I said, "LORD God, I beg you, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!"
5
Then I cried out, “Sovereign LORD, I beg you, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!”
6 The LORD relented concerning this: "This also won't take place,"
6
So the LORD relented. “This will not happen either,” the Sovereign LORD said.
