Habakkuk 3:17
New King James Version
A Hymn of Faith
17 Though the fig tree may not blossom,
Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
And the fields yield no food;
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls—
Proverbs 14:23
New King James Version
23 In all labor there is profit,
But [a]idle chatter leads only to poverty.
