I will liken thee, O house of Israel, like unto a tame olive tree,

which a man took and nourished in his vineyard;

and it grew, and waxed old, and began to decay.

Jacob 5:4

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

and he saw that his olive tree began to decay; and he said:

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.

Jacob 5:6

And it came to pass that after many days

it began to put forth somewhat a little, young and tender branches;

but behold, the main top thereof began to perish.

Jacob 5:73

And there began to be the natural fruit again in the vineyard;

and the natural branches began to grow and thrive exceedingly;

and the wild branches began to be plucked off and to be cast away;

and they did keep the root and the top thereof equal,

according to the strength thereof.
