1 Thus hath the Lord [God] showed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.
2 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord [God], forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
3 The Lord repented for this: It shall not be, saith the Lord.
4 Thus hath the Lord [God] showed unto me: and, behold, the Lord [God] called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
5 Then said I, O Lord [God], cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
