Luke 13:7-9

Legacy Standard Bible

⁷ And he said to the vineyard-keeper, ‘Behold, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree ^[a]without finding any. ^(A)Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground?’ ⁸ And he answered and said to him, ‘Let it alone, sir, for this year too, until I dig around it and put in manure, ⁹ and if it bears fruit next year, fine, but if not, cut it down.’”
