1 Thus hath Adonoi Hashem showed unto me; and, hinei, He formed locusts in the beginning of the springing up of the second crop; and, hinei, it was the second crop after the mowing of the melech.
2 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the vegetation of ha'aretz, then I said, O Adonoi Hashem, forgive, I beseech thee; how shall Ya'akov survive? For he is katon.
3 Hashem relented for this; It shall not be, saith Hashem.
4 Thus hath Adonoi Hashem showed unto me; and, hinei, Adonoi Hashem called to punish with eish, and it devoured the tehom rabbah (great deep), and did devour the chelek (portion).
5 Then said I, O Adonoi Hashem, cease, I beseech thee; how shall Ya'akov survive? For he is katon.
6 Hashem relented for this: This also shall not be, saith Adonoi Hashem.
