Amos 7:1-6

Amos 7:1-6 TPT

This is what Lord YAHWEH revealed to me in a vision: Behold! Just after the hay had been cut for the king, when the new young grass started to grow again, I saw YAHWEH forming a swarm of mature locusts. I watched as they began eating all the vegetation in the land, so I pleaded with God, saying, “Lord YAHWEH, please forgive us, I beg you, or we will not survive! Our nation is so helpless.” My prayer moved God’s heart to compassion. YAHWEH said: “It will not happen.” In another vision, YAHWEH revealed this to me: Behold! He was calling for punishment by fire. The scorching heat dried up the deep sources of water beneath the land and made the farmlands like dust. So I pleaded with God, saying, “Lord YAHWEH, please don’t do this, I beg you, or we will not survive! Our nation is so helpless.” Because of my prayer, God’s heart was stirred with compassion. “This also will not happen,” said YAHWEH.
