1 This is what the Lord God showed me: behold, he was forming locusts when the latter growth was just beginning to sprout, and behold, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings.
2 When they had finished eating the grass of the land, I said,“O Lord God, please forgive! How can Jacob stand?He is so small!”
3 The Lord relented concerning this:“It shall not be,” said the Lord.
4 This is what the Lord God showed me: behold, the Lord God was calling for a judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep and was eating up the land.
