Habakkuk 3:17

Though, the fig-tree, should not blossom, and there be no sprouting in the vines, the yield of the olive, should have deceived, and, the fields, not have brought forth food,—the flock, have been consumed out of the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls,

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

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

18Yet, I, in Yahweh, will rejoice,—I will exult in the God of my salvation.
