They will consume your harvest and your food. They will consume your sons and your daughters. They will consume your flocks and your herds. They will consume your vines and your fig trees. With the sword they will destroy your fortified cities in which you trust.
You will sow but not reap; you will press olives but not anoint yourself with oil; and you will tread grapes but not drink the wine.
I will rebuke the devourer , for you, so that it will not ruin the produce of your land and your vine in your field will not fail to produce fruit,’ says the Lord of Armies.
We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
we are persecuted, but not abandoned; we are struck down, but not destroyed.
