Habakkuk 3:16-18

Good News Translation

¹⁶ I hear all this, and I tremble;
    my lips quiver with fear.
My body goes limp,
    and my feet stumble^[a] beneath me.

I will quietly wait for the time to come
    when God will punish those who attack us.

¹⁷ Even though the fig trees have no fruit
    and no grapes grow on the vines,
even though the olive crop fails
    and the fields produce no grain,
even though the sheep all die
    and the cattle stalls are empty,
¹⁸ I will still be joyful and glad,
    because the Lord God is my savior.
