Habakkuk 3:17
English Standard Version
Habakkuk Rejoices in the Lord
17 Though the fig tree should 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,
Jeremiah 5:17
English Standard Version
17 (A)They shall eat up your harvest and your food;
they shall eat up your sons and your daughters;
they shall eat up your flocks and your herds;
they shall eat up your vines and your fig trees;
your (B)fortified cities in which you trust
they shall beat down with the sword.”
Amos 4:6-10
English Standard Version
Israel Has Not Returned to the Lord
6 “I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities,
and (A)lack of bread in all your places,
(B)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
7 “I also (C)withheld the rain from you
when there were yet three months to the harvest;
(D)I would send rain on one city,
and send no rain on another city;
one field would have rain,
and the field on which it did not rain would wither;
8 so two or three cities (E)would wander to another city
to drink water, and would not be satisfied;
(F)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
9 (G)“I struck you with blight and mildew;
your many gardens and your vineyards,
your fig trees and your olive trees (H)the locust devoured;
(I)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
10 “I sent among you a pestilence (J)after the manner of Egypt;
I killed your young men with the sword,
and (K)carried away your horses,[a]
and (L)I made the stench of your camp go up into your nostrils;
(M)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.

English Standard Version
2 (A)“Judah mourns,
and (B)her gates languish;
her people lament on the ground,
and (C)the cry of Jerusalem goes up.
3 Her nobles send their servants for water;
they come to the cisterns;
they find no water;
they return with their vessels empty;
they are (D)ashamed and confounded
and (E)cover their heads.
4 Because of the ground that is dismayed,
since there is (F)no rain on the land,
the farmers are ashamed;
they cover their heads.

its savior in time of trouble,
why should you be like a stranger in the land,
like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?
Deuteronomy 28:30-41
English Standard Version
30 (A)You shall betroth a wife, but another man shall ravish her. (B)You shall build a house, but you shall not dwell in it. (C)You shall plant a vineyard, but you shall not enjoy its fruit. 31 Your ox shall be slaughtered before your eyes, but you shall not eat any of it. Your donkey shall be seized before your face, but shall not be restored to you. Your sheep shall be given to your enemies, but there shall be no one to help you. 32 (D)Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people, while your eyes look on and fail with longing for them all day long, (E)but you shall be helpless. 33 A nation that you have not known shall eat up the fruit of your ground and of all your labors, and you shall be only oppressed and crushed continually, 34 so that you are driven mad (F)by the sights that your eyes see. 35 The Lord will strike you on the knees and on the legs (G)with grievous boils of which you cannot be healed, from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head.
36 “The Lord will (H)bring you and your king whom you set over you to a nation that neither you (I)nor your fathers have known. And (J)there you shall serve other gods of wood and stone. 37 And you shall become (K)a horror, a proverb, and a byword among all the peoples where the Lord will lead you away. 38 (L)You shall carry much seed into the field and shall gather in little, for (M)the locust shall consume it. 39 (N)You shall plant vineyards and dress them, but you shall neither drink of the wine nor gather the grapes, for the worm shall eat them. 40 You shall have olive trees throughout all your territory, but you (O)shall not anoint yourself with the oil, for your olives shall drop off. 41 You shall father sons and daughters, but they shall not be yours, for (P)they shall go into captivity.

Curses for Disobedience
15 “But (A)if you will not obey the voice of the Lord your God or be careful to do all his commandments and his statutes that I command you today, then all these curses shall come upon you and (B)overtake you. 16 Cursed shall you be (C)in the city, and cursed shall you be in the field. 17 Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. 18 Cursed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock.
