Luke 13:7-9 Now he said to the vine-dresser, Behold three years, I come seeking fruit and find none in this fig tree. Cut it down. Why does it also do-away-with the good soil?

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Now he said to the vine-dresser, Behold three years, I come seeking fruit and find none in this fig tree. Cut it down. Why does it also do-away-with the good soil?
⁸ But he answered and says to him, Lord, Also leave it this year, until I should dig around it and put in manure; ⁹ and if it indeed produces fruit, good; otherwise you will be cutting it down in the future.
