Amos 7:1-6

This is what the LORD GOD showed me: he was forming locusts at the time
the latter growth began to sprout (it was the latter growth after the
king's mowings).  When they had finished eating the grass of the land, I
said,

        "O LORD GOD, forgive, I beg you!
        How can Jacob stand?
        He is so small!"
        The LORD relented concerning this;
        "It shall not be," said the LORD.

This is what the LORD GOD showed me: the LORD GOD was calling for a shower
of fire, and it devoured the great deep and was eating up the land.  Then
I said,

        "O LORD GOD, cease, I beg you!
        How can Jacob stand?
        He is so small!"
        The LORD relented concerning this;
        "This also shall not be," said the LORD GOD.
