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, Cross References 2 Corinthians 4:8 We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 2 Corinthians 4:9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed. Jeremiah 5:17 They will devour your harvest and food; they will consume your sons and daughters; they will eat up your flocks and herds; they will feed on your vines and fig trees. With the sword they will destroy the fortified cities in which you trust." Jeremiah 12:4 How long will the land mourn and the grass of every field be withered? Because of the evil of its residents, the animals and birds have been swept away, for the people have said, "He cannot see what our end will be." Joel 1:10 The field is ruined; the land mourns.
