Amos 7:5
"Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee,.... From destroying the land; suffer not this calamity to proceed any further; using the same argument as before: by whom

shall Jacob arise? for he is small; See Gill on Amo 7:2 .
