6 He also spoke this parable: (A)“A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. 7 Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it [a]use up the ground?’ 8 But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. 9 [b]And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can (B)cut it down.’ ”

4 What more could have been done to My vineyard
That I have not done in (A)it?
Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes,
Did it bring forth wild grapes?

(B)I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned;
And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.
