Luke 13:6-9

planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit
thereon, and found none.

these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and
find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
8) And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this
year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
9) And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou
shalt cut it down.

as defilement,
and a cemetery purchased by unclean money a fitting
spot for their interment.

and to this day contains a house wherein are
deposited the poor and unhonoured dead of
Jerusalem.
