Key verses
Look at the proud one; his soul is not upright— but the righteous will live by faith—
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
Though the fig tree does not bud and no fruit is on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though the sheep are cut off from the fold and no cattle are in the stalls,
yet I will exult in the Lord; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!
