Hab 3:17 | MHM | STEP | v. 17 : Habakkuk imagines losing everything—food, drink, and even the basic things needed for life. He says, though the fig tree does not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the labor of the olive fails, the fields yield no food, the flock is cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls . These are all things people depended on to live. War or bad weather could take them away, or people might lose them when they are taken captive. Habakkuk warns us that we should not trust too much in what we have, because we could lose it all one day (1 Corinthians 7:29

v. 17: Habakkuk imagines losing everything—food, drink, and even the basic things needed for life. He says, though the fig tree does not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the labor of the olive fails, the fields yield no food, the flock is cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls . These are all things people depended on to live. War or bad weather could take them away, or people might lose them when they are taken captive. Habakkuk warns us that we should not trust too much in what we have, because we could lose it all one day (1 Corinthians 7:29–30 ^a).
