Therefore, no matter what it looks like, we join in the Lord's servant's hymn of faith, singing, "Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls - YET I WILL REJOICE IN THE LORD; I WILL JOY IN THE GOD OF MY SALVATION.
Ngakho-ke, kwangathi singazimisela ukulondoloza umoya onjengowomprofethi uHabakuki, owathi: "Nakuba umkhiwane ungase ungaqhakazi, futhi kungabikho sivuno emivinini; nakuba umsebenzi womnqumo empeleni ungase ubhuntshe, namathala ngokwawo engase angakhiqizi kudla; nakuba umhlambi wezimvu nezimbuzi ungase empeleni uhlukaniswe nesibaya, futhi kungase kungabikho mhlambi wezinkomo ezibayeni; nokho, mina, ngiyokwethaba ngoJehova ngokwakhe; ngiyojabula ngoNkulunkulu wensindiso yami."
