Luke 13:7-9

English Standard Version Anglicised

⁷ And he said to the vine dresser, ‘Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. ^(A)Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?’ ⁸ And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig round it and put on manure. ⁹ Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’”
