Luke 13:7-9

7So he said to the worker who tended the vineyard, ‘For three years now, I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and each time I inspect it I find none. Cut it down! Why should it continue to deplete the soil?’

8But the worker answered him, ‘Sir, leave it alone this year too, until I dig around it and put fertilizer on it.

9Then if it bears fruit next year, very well, but if not, you can cut it down.’”
