For the figtree shall not flourish, neither shall fruite be in the vines: the labour of the oliue shall faile, and the fieldes shall yeelde no meate: the sheepe shalbe cut off from the folde, and there shalbe no bullocke in the stalles. But I will reioyce in the Lord: I will ioy in the God of my saluation.
Habakkuk 3:15 Thou didest walke in the sea with thine horses vpon the heape of great waters.
Habakkuk 3:16 When I heard, my bellie trembled: my lippes shooke at the voyce: rottennesse entred into my bones, and I trembled in my selfe, that I might rest in the day of trouble: for whe he commeth vp vnto the people, he shall destroy them.
Habakkuk 3:17 For the figtree shall not flourish, neither shall fruite be in the vines: the labour of the oliue shall faile, and the fieldes shall yeelde no meate: the sheepe shalbe cut off from the folde, and there shalbe no bullocke in the stalles.
Habakkuk 3:18 But I will reioyce in the Lord: I will ioy in the God of my saluation.
Habakkuk 3:19 The Lord God is my strength: hee will make my feete like hindes feete, and he will make me to walke vpon mine hie places. To the chiefe singer on Neginothai.
The verse centers on "sheep", "figtree", "shall", "flourish", "neither", "fruite", "vines", and "labour". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "sheep" and "figtree", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 16's "When I heard my bellie trembled my..." into verse 19's "The Lord God is my strength hee...", so "sheep" and "figtree" belong inside that flow. In Habakkuk context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "sheep" and "figtree" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
