Habakkuk 3:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ I listened to this
    and I was very afraid.
My lips shook with fear
    when I heard the sound.
My bones became weak.
    My legs would not let me walk.
But I will be patient.
    I will wait for the day of trouble that will come.
Yes, punishment will come to the people who are attacking us.
¹⁷ Whatever happens, I will continue to thank the Lord.
    If there are no flowers on the fig trees,
    if there are no grapes on the vines,
    if there are no olives on the olive trees,
    if there are no crops in the fields,
    if the sheep are dying in the hills,
    if there are no cows on the farms,
¹⁸ I will still sing to thank the Lord!
    I will be happy because God is the one who makes me safe.^[a]
