'Cut' in the Bible

So he said to the gardener, "'See, this is the third year I have come to look for fruit on this fig-tree and cannot find any. Cut it down. Why should so much ground be actually wasted?'

If after that it bears fruit, well and good; if it does not, then you shall cut it down.'"

But as for those enemies of mine who were unwilling that I should become their king, bring them here, and cut them to pieces in my presence.'"
