Habakkuk 3:16

FearWaiting on GodPatienceHope

14 With his own spear You pierced his head, when his warriors stormed out to scatter us, gloating as though ready to secretly devour the weak.

15 You trampled the sea with Your horses, churning the great waters.

I heard and trembled within; my lips quivered at the sound. Decay entered my bones; I trembled where I stood. Yet I must wait patiently for the day of distress to come upon the people who invade us.

17 Though the fig tree does not bud and no fruit is on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though the sheep are cut off from the fold and no cattle are in the stalls,

18 yet I will exult in the LORD; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!
