1This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, he was forming locusts at the beginning of the spring crop's coming up, and behold, it was the spring crop after the king's mowings.

2And when it had finished eating the vegetation of the land, I said, “Lord GOD, please forgive! How can Jacob stand? For he is small.”

3Yahweh relented concerning this: “It will not happen,” said Yahweh.
