BLB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ And He was speaking this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit on it, and not did find any. ⁷ And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Behold, throughout these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and do not find any. Therefore cut it down! Why even should it use up the ground?’ ⁸ And answering, he says to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I shall dig around it, and put in manure, ⁹ and if indeed it should bear fruit in the time, so be it. But if not, you will cut it down.’”
