Locusts, Fire, and a Plumb Line
7 This is what the Lord God showed me: he was forming locusts at the time the latter growth began to sprout (it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings).(A) 2 When they had finished eating the grass of the land, I said,
“O Lord God, forgive, I beg you!
How can Jacob stand?
He is so small!”(B)
3 The Lord relented concerning this;
“It shall not be,” said the Lord.(C)
4 This is what the Lord God showed me: the Lord God was calling for judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep and was eating up the land. 5 Then I said,
“O Lord God, cease, I beg you!
How can Jacob stand?
He is so small!”(D)
6 The Lord relented concerning this;
“This also shall not be,” said the Lord God.(E)

6 So the Lord relented.(K)
“This will not happen either,” the Sovereign Lord said.(L)
