7 He said to the vine dresser, 'Look, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?'
7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
7 And he said to the vineyard-keeper, ‘Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree (d)without finding any. (F)Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground?’
7 He told the vineyard worker, ‘Listen, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down!(H) Why should it even waste the soil?’(I)
7 So he told the gardener, "Look here! For three years I've been coming to look for fruit on this tree but I haven't found any. Cut it down! Why should it waste the soil?'
8 He answered, 'Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it.
8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
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;
8 “But he replied to him, ‘Sir,(b) leave it this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.(J)
8 But the gardener replied, "Sir, leave it alone for one more year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
9 If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.'"
9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
9 and if it bears fruit next year, fine; but if not, cut it down.’”
9 Perhaps it will bear fruit next year, but if not, you can cut it down.’”
