Luke 13:7-9

Wycliffe Bible

⁷ And he said to the tiller of the vineyard, Lo! three years be, since I come seeking fruit in this fig tree, and I find none; therefore cut it down, whereto occupieth it the earth?

⁸ And he answering said to him, Lord, suffer it also this year, [till] the while I delve about it, and I shall dung it [till the while I delve about it, and dung it];

⁹ [and] if it shall make fruit, [else] if not, in time [to] coming thou shalt cut it down.
