A vision of locusts

7 This is what the LORD God showed me: The LORD God was forming locusts at the time the late grass began to sprout. (It was the late grass after the king’s harvest.) ² When they had finished eating the green plants of the land, I said,

• “ LORD God, please forgive!
• How can Jacob survive?
• He is so small! ”
• ³ The LORD relented concerning this:
• “ It won’t take place, ”
• says the LORD .
