Even if the fig tree does not flower, and there is no yield on the vines; if the olive tree’s produce disappoints, and the fields provide no food; if the flock is cut off from the fold, and there are no cattle in the barns, 18 yet I will exult in Yahweh; I will rejoice in the God who saves me.

What would it mean to rejoice even if the fig tree does not blossom?
Read it in contextHabakkuk 3:14–19
14 With his own shafts you pierced the head of his fighters when they stormed out to scatter me; their delight was like that of one who devours the poor in secret. 15 With your horses you trod upon the sea, through the foaming of many waters. 16 I heard, and my belly quaked; at the sound my lips trembled. Rot crept into my bones, and I shook where I stood. Yet I will wait calmly for the day of distress to come upon the people who attack us. 17 Even if the fig tree does not flower, and there is no yield on the vines; if the olive tree’s produce disappoints, and the fields provide no food; if the flock is cut off from the fold, and there are no cattle in the barns, 18 yet I will exult in Yahweh; I will rejoice in the God who saves me. 19 Yahweh the Lord is my strength. He gives me feet like a deer’s and lets me stride on my heights. For the choir director. With stringed instruments.
