1 Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, he was forming locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and lo, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings. 2 When they had finished eating the grass of the land, I said,

“O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee!

How can Jacob stand?

He is so small!”

3 The Lord repented concerning this;

“It shall not be,” said the Lord.
