Amos 7:3-5
Living Bible
3 So the Lord relented and did not fulfill the vision. “I won’t do it,” he told me.
4 Then the Lord God showed me a great fire he had prepared to punish them; it had burned up the waters and was devouring the entire land.
5 Then I said, “O Lord God, please don’t do it. If you turn against them, what hope is there? For Israel is so small!”

“It shall not be,” said the Lord.

“O Lord God, please cease!
(D)How can Jacob stand?
He is so small!”
