Jacob 5:13

And these will I place in the nethermost part of my vineyard,

whithersoever I will, it mattereth not unto thee;

and I do it that I may preserve unto myself the natural branches of the tree;

and also, that I may lay up fruit thereof against the season, unto myself;

for it grieveth me that I should lose this tree and the fruit thereof.

Jacob 5:18

And he said unto the servant:

Behold, the branches of the wild tree

have taken hold of the moisture of the root thereof,

that the root thereof hath brought forth much strength;

and because of the much strength of the root thereof

the wild branches have brought forth tame fruit.

Now, if we had not grafted in these branches,

the tree thereof would have perished.

And now, behold, I shall lay up much fruit,

which the tree thereof hath brought forth;

and the fruit thereof I shall lay up against the season, unto mine own self.

Jacob 5:19

have not brought forth much fruit also,

that I may lay up of the fruit thereof against the season, unto mine own self.

whither the master had hid the natural branches of the tree,

And he said unto the servant:

Take of the fruit thereof, and lay it up against the season,

that I may preserve it unto mine own self;

for behold, said he, this long time have I nourished it,

and it hath brought forth much fruit.

Look hither; behold I have planted another branch of the tree also;

and thou knowest that this spot of ground was poorer than the first.

and it hath brought forth much fruit;

therefore, gather it, and lay it up against the season,

that I may preserve it unto mine own self.

wherefore, I must lay up fruit against the season, unto mine own self.

And now, behold, notwithstanding all the care

which we have taken of my vineyard,

the trees thereof have become corrupted,

that they bring forth no good fruit;

and these I had hoped to preserve,

to have laid up fruit thereof against the season, unto mine own self.

and they are of no worth but to be hewn down and cast into the fire;

and it grieveth me that I should lose them.

Go to, and labor in the vineyard, with your might.

and if ye labor with your might with me ye shall have joy in the fruit

which I shall lay up unto myself against the time which will soon come.

For behold, for a long time will I lay up of the fruit of my vineyard

unto mine own self against the season, which speedily cometh;

and for the last time have I nourished my vineyard,

and pruned it, and dug about it, and dunged it;

wherefore I will lay up unto mine own self of the fruit, for a long time,

according to that which I have spoken.

Jacob 5:77

And when the time cometh that evil fruit shall again come into my vineyard,

then will I cause the good and the bad to be gathered;

and the good will I preserve unto myself,

and the bad will I cast away into its own place.

And then cometh the season and the end;

and my vineyard will I cause to be burned with fire.
