If only they had such a mind as this, to fear me and to keep all my commandments always, so that it might go well with them and with their children forever!
Though the fig tree does not blossom, and no fruit is on the vines; though the produce of the olive fails and the fields yield no food; though the flock is cut off from the fold and there is no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the God of my salvation.
