1 The Lord God showed me that he is going to send locusts to attack your crops. It will happen after the king has already been given his share of the grain and before the rest of the grain has been harvested.
2 In my vision the locusts ate every crop in the land, and I said to the Lord, “Forgive me for asking, but how can the nation survive? It's so weak.”
3 Then the Lord felt sorry and answered, “I won't let it be destroyed.”
4 The Lord showed me that he is going to send a ball of fire to burn up everything on earth, including the sea.
5 Then I said, “Won't you please stop? How can our weak nation survive?”
6 Again the Lord felt sorry and answered, “I won't let it be destroyed.”
