וְהָיָה אִם־כִּלָּה לֶֽאֱכוֹל אֶת־עֵשֶׂב הָאָרֶץ וָאֹמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה סְֽלַֽח־נָא מִי יָקוּם יַֽעֲקֹב כִּי קָטֹן הֽוּא
And if it had come to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land—so I said: O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech Thee; How shall Jacob stand? for he is small.
נִחַם יְהוָה עַל־זֹאת לֹא תִהְיֶה אָמַר יְהוָֽה
The LORD repented concerning this; ‘It shall not be’, saith the LORD. .
כֹּה הִרְאַנִי אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה וְהִנֵּה קֹרֵא לָרִב בָּאֵשׁ אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה וַתֹּאכַל אֶת־תְּהוֹם רַבָּה וְאָכְלָה אֶת־הַחֵֽלֶק
Thus the Lord GOD showed me; and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire; and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land.
וָאֹמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה חֲדַל־נָא מִי יָקוּם יַעֲקֹב כִּי קָטֹן הֽוּא
Then said I: O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech Thee; How shall Jacob stand? for he is small.
נִחַם יְהוָה עַל־זֹאת גַּם־הִיא לֹא תִֽהְיֶה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִֽה
The LORD repented concerning this; ‘This also shall not be’, saith the Lord GOD.
