Luke 13:7-9
7 And he said to the vineyard-keeper, ‘Behold, for three years I have come looking for 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 fertilizer;
9 and if it bears fruit next year, fine; but if not, cut it down.’”
