Amos 7:1-6

1 This is what the Almighty LORD showed me: He was preparing swarms of locusts when the second crop was being harvested. It was the harvest that followed the harvest for the king.
2 When the locusts had finished eating every plant in the land, I said, "Almighty LORD, please forgive us! How can [the descendants of] Jacob survive? There are so few of them."
3 The LORD changed his plans about this. "This won't happen," the LORD said.
4 This is what the Almighty LORD showed me: The Almighty LORD was calling for judgment by fire. The fire dried up the ocean and burned up the land.
5 Then I said, "Almighty LORD, please stop! How can [the descendants of] Jacob survive? There are so few of them."
6 The LORD changed his plans about this. "This won't happen either," the Almighty LORD said.
