Habakkuk 3:16-18

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁶I hear, and my body trembles,
    my lips quiver at the sound;
rottenness enters into my bones,
    my steps totter^[a] beneath me.
I will quietly wait for the day of trouble
    to come upon people who invade us.

Trust and Joy in the Midst of Trouble

¹⁷Though the fig tree do not blossom,
    nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
    and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
    and there be no herd in the stalls,
¹⁸yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
    I will joy in the God of my salvation.
