Amos 7:5

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

And it came about, when it had finished eating the vegetation of the land, that I said,
“Lord God, please pardon!

How can Jacob stand,

For he is small?”

Restore us, O God of our salvation,

And cause Your indignation toward us to cease.

For in a very little while My indignation against you will be spent and My anger will be directed to their destruction.”

And it came about, when it had finished eating the vegetation of the land, that I said,
“Lord God, please pardon!

How can Jacob stand,

For he is small?”

Unless the Lord of hosts

Had left us a few survivors,
We would be like Sodom,
We would be like Gomorrah.

‘From them will proceed thanksgiving
And the voice of those who

celebrate;

And I will multiply them and they will not be diminished;
I will also honor them and they will not be insignificant.
