Amos 7:3
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
So the LORD relented from this plan. “It will not happen,” He said.
In context
1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: He was preparing swarms of locusts just after the king’s harvest, as the late spring crop was coming up.
2 And when the locusts had eaten every green plant in the land, I said, “Lord GOD, please forgive! How will Jacob survive, since he is so small?”
3 So the LORD relented from this plan. “It will not happen,” He said.
4 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: The Lord GOD was calling for judgment by fire. It consumed the great deep and devoured the land.
5 Then I said, “Lord GOD, please stop! How will Jacob survive, since he is so small?”
