Luke 13:6-9
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
If The Tree Does Not Bear Fruit, It Will Be Cut Down
6 And He was telling this parable— “A certain one had a fig tree having been planted in his vineyard. And he came seeking fruit on it, and did not find it. 7 And he said to the vine-keeper, ‘Behold— it is three years from which time I am coming seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I am not finding it. Therefore, cut it down! Why is it even using-up[a] the soil?’ 8 But the one, having responded, says to him, ‘Master, leave it also this year, until I dig around it and throw manure. 9 And if it produces fruit in the future— otherwise indeed, cut it down’”.
