Amos 7:5

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

Cross-reference

Amos 7:2 Parallel

In Amos 7:2, the same intercessory plea appears verbatim: 'O Lord GOD, please... How can Jacob stand? He is so small!' — identical structure in the first vision.

Amos 7:3 Parallel

In Amos 7:3, the Lord relents from the first vision's judgment — showing that Amos's pattern of intercession (v5) leads to divine relenting (v6 follows).

Deuteronomy 9:18 shows Moses prostrate in intercession for Israel's sin — a strong parallel to Amos's intercessory role for Jacob.

Joel 2:17 Parallel

Joel 2:17 calls priests to plead, 'Spare thy people, O Lord' — a public intercession similar to Amos's personal cry for mercy.

Isaiah 1:9 Parallel

Isaiah 1:9 speaks of being spared from total destruction because of a small remnant — parallel to Amos's plea that Jacob is too small to survive judgment.

Isaiah 10:25 promises God's indignation will end — a counterpart to Amos's plea for it to cease now. Both address the duration of divine anger.
