3:17 When 1 the fig tree does not bud,
and there are no grapes on the vines;
when the olive trees do not produce, 2
and the fields yield no crops; 3
when the sheep disappear 4 from the pen,
and there are no cattle in the stalls,
3:18 I will rejoice because of 5 the Lord;
I will be happy because of the God who delivers me!
