Amos 7:1-2

Symbolic Visions of Judgment

7:1 The sovereign Lord showed me this: I saw him making locusts just as the crops planted late were beginning to sprout. (The crops planted late sprout after the royal harvest.) 7:2 When they had completely consumed the earth’s vegetation, I said,

“Sovereign Lord, forgive Israel!

How can Jacob survive?

He is too weak!”

Deuteronomy 28:42

28:42 Whirring locusts will take over every tree and all the produce of your soil.

Joel 1:4

1:4 What the gazam-locust left the ‘arbeh-locust consumed,

what the ‘arbeh-locust left the yeleq-locust consumed,

and what the yeleq-locust left the hasil-locust consumed!

Joel 2:25

2:25 I will make up for the years

that the ‘arbeh-locust consumed your crops –

the yeleq-locust, the hasil-locust, and the gazam-locust –

my great army that I sent against you.
