Luke 13:7 BBE

⁵  I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to an end in the same way.

⁶  And he made up this story for them: A certain man had a fig-tree in his garden, and he came to get fruit from it, and there was no fruit.

⁷  And he said to the gardener, See, for three years I have been looking for fruit from this tree, and I have not had any: let it be cut down; why is it taking up space?

⁸  And he said, Lord, let it be for this year, and I will have the earth turned up round it, and put animal waste on it, to make it fertile:

⁹  And if, after that, it has fruit, it is well; if not, let it be cut down.
