And he said to the vinedresser, Behold, three years I come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and not he did find any. Cut it down, and why does it waste the ground?
He cried with might and thus he said, Cut down the tree and cut off its branches. Shake off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the beast flee from under it, and the birds leave its branches.
And when you come into the land and have planted all of the food trees, then you shall expose its foreskin, its fruit, it shall be as uncircumcised for you three years; it shall not be eaten.
And also the axe is already laid to the root of the trees; therefore, every tree not producing good fruit is being cut down and being thrown into the fire.
