Amos 7:2-4

New International Version - UK

² When they had stripped the land clean, I cried out, ‘Sovereign Lord, forgive! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!’

³ So the Lord relented.

‘This will not happen,’ the Lord said.

⁴ This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me: the Sovereign Lord was calling for judgment by fire; it dried up the great deep and devoured the land.
