Habakkuk 3:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ I listened and my heart pounded.
    My lips trembled at the sound.
My bones seemed to rot.
    And my legs shook.
But I will be patient.
    I’ll wait for the day of trouble to come on Babylon.
    It’s the nation that is attacking us.
¹⁷ The fig trees might not bud.
    The vines might not produce any grapes.
The olive crop might fail.
    The fields might not produce any food.
There might not be any sheep in the pens.
    There might not be any cattle in the barns.
¹⁸ But I will still be glad
    because of what the Lord has done.
    God my Savior fills me with joy.
