Jacob 5:4

And it came to pass that the master of the vineyard went forth,

I will prune it, and dig about it, and nourish it,

that perhaps it may shoot forth young and tender branches, and it perish not.

according to his word.

But behold, the servant said unto him:

Let us prune it, and dig about it, and nourish it a little longer,

that perhaps it may bring forth good fruit unto thee,

that thou canst lay it up against the season.

Jacob 5:47

But what could I have done more in my vineyard?

Have I slackened mine hand, that I have not nourished it?

Nay, I have nourished it, and I have digged about it,

and I have pruned it, and I have dunged it;

and I have stretched forth mine hand almost all the day long,

and the end draweth nigh.

And it grieveth me that I should hew down all the trees of my vineyard,

and cast them into the fire that they should be burned.

Who is it that has corrupted my vineyard?

Jacob 5:76

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.
