2 When they had completely consumed the earth's vegetation, I said, |Sovereign LORD, forgive Israel! How can Jacob survive? He is too weak!| 3 The LORD decided not to do this. |It will not happen,| the LORD said. 4 The sovereign LORD showed me this: I saw the sovereign LORD summoning a shower of fire. It consumed the great deep and devoured the fields. 5 I said, |Sovereign LORD, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is too weak!| 6 The LORD decided not to do this. The sovereign LORD said, |This will not happen either.| Amos 7:2-6, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
