The verses around Habakkuk 3:19.
17Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
18Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
Verse explanation
“He will make my feet like hinds' feet” describes the steadiness of an animal that walks securely even on steep mountain terrain; it's the prophet's final image of trust, choosing to rejoice in God even without any of the easy answers he wanted at the start of the book.
From the Habakkuk 3 study in Bible in Stories.
