Habakkuk 3:17

For though the fig tree shall bear no fruit, 1 And there shall be no produce on the vines; 1 The labor of the olive shall fail, 1 And the fields shall produce no food: 1 The sheep have failed from the pasture, 1 And there are no oxen at the cribs; 1

Updated Brenton Septuagint

In The King James Version

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:

In Context

16I watched, and my belly trembled 1 At the sound of the prayer of my lips, 1 And trembling entered into my bones, 1 And my frame was troubled within me; 1 I will rest in the day of affliction, 1 From going up to the people of my sojourning. 1

18Yet I will exult in the Lord, 1 I will joy in God my Savior. 1
