Amos 7:1-6

Good News Translation GNT

1 I had a vision from the Sovereign Lord. In it I saw him create a swarm of locusts just after the king's share of the hay had been cut and the grass was starting to grow again.

2 In my vision I saw the locusts eat up every green thing in the land, and then I said, "Sovereign Lord, forgive your people! How can they survive? They are so small and weak!"

3 The Lord changed his mind and said, "What you saw will not take place."

4 I had another vision from the Sovereign Lord. In it I saw him preparing to punish his people with fire. The fire burned up the great ocean under the earth and started to burn up the land.

5 Then I said, "Stop, O Sovereign Lord! How can your people survive? They are so small and weak!"

6 The Lord changed his mind again and said, "This will not take place either."

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

4 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.

6 So the LORD relented. “This will not happen either,” the Sovereign LORD said.
