For the fig tree will not sprout (Hab. 3:17-18)

  For the fig tree will not sprout,
And there will be no yield on the vines;
The labor on the olive tree will fail,
And the fields will make no food;
  Yet I will exult in Jehovah;
I’ll rejoice in the God,
The God of my salvation,
The God of my salvation.
  The flock will be cut off from the fold,
And there will be no herd in the stalls.
  Yet I will exult in Jehovah;
I will rejoice in the God,
The God of my salvation,
The God of my salvation.
  Yet I will exult in Jehovah;
I will rejoice in the God,
The God of my salvation,
The God of my salvation.

Habakkuk 3:17 For the fig tree will not sprout,

And there will be no yield on the vines;

The labor on the olive tree will fail,

And the fields will make no food;

The flock will be cut off from the fold,

And there will be no herd in the stalls.

3:18 Yet I will exult in Jehovah;

I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
