Amos 7:4-6
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
4 This is what the Lord God showed me: the Lord God was calling for a shower of fire,[a] 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!’
6 The Lord relented concerning this;
‘This also shall not be,’ said the Lord God.

‘This will not happen either,’ the Sovereign Lord said.

4 Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord God called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
