Hb 3:17-19

17For though the fig tree does not blossom,

and no fruit appears on the vine,

Though the yield of the olive fails

and the terraces produce no nourishment,

Though the flocks disappear from the fold

and there is no herd in the stalls,

18Yet I will rejoice in the LORD

and exult in my saving God.

19GOD, my Lord, is my strength;

he makes my feet swift as those of deer

and enables me to tread upon the heights.^{* e}
