KJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? ⁸ And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: ⁹ And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

RKJNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and have found none: cut it down; why should it use up the ground? ⁸ And he answered and said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, until I shall dig about it, and put manure on it: ⁹ And if it bears fruit, fine: and if not, then you can cut it down.
