Passage 18 of 37
For though the fig tree doesn’t flourish, nor fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive fails, the fields yield no food; the flocks are cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls: yet I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
“Yahweh” is the divine name in this translation. Many Bibles say “the LORD.”

Empty fields are named. Joy is still possible when the provision is thin.
