Amos 7:2
And when the locusts had eaten every green plant in the land, I said, “Lord God, please forgive! How will Jacob survive, since he is so small?”
And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord God, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
Note by…: or, who of (or, for,) Jacob shall stand?
When they finished eating the grass of the land, then I said, “Lord God, forgive, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small.”
