"For though the fig-tree shall not flourish, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labor of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no food; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls:" — Habakkuk 3:17 (ASV)
Although.—Better: For. This conjunction connects this verse with what precedes, and explains Habakkuk’s affliction more fully. With the sword will come famine, invasion as usual producing desolation.
