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

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

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;

the wild branches have brought forth tame fruit.

which the tree thereof hath brought forth;

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.

the trees thereof have become corrupted,

that they bring forth no good fruit;

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.



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 5:54

And, behold, the roots of the natural branches of the tree

which I planted whithersoever I would are yet alive;

wherefore, that I may preserve them also for mine own purpose,

I will take of the branches of this tree, and I will graft them in unto them.

Yea, I will graft in unto them the branches of their mother tree,

that I may preserve the roots also unto mine own self,

that when they shall be sufficiently strong

perhaps they may bring forth good fruit unto me,

and I may yet have glory in the fruit of my vineyard.



Jacob 5:60

And because that I have preserved the natural branches and the roots thereof,

and that I have grafted in the natural branches again into their mother tree,

and have preserved the roots of their mother tree,

that, perhaps, the trees of my vineyard may bring forth again good fruit

and that I may have joy again in the fruit of my vineyard,

and, perhaps, that I may rejoice exceedingly

that I have preserved the roots and the branches of the first fruit —



Jacob 5:61

that we may labor diligently with our might in the vineyard,

that we may prepare the way, that I may bring forth again the natural fruit,

which natural fruit is good and the most precious above all other fruit.



Jacob 5:64

Wherefore, dig about them, and prune them,

and dung them once more, for the last time,

for the end draweth nigh.

And if it be so that these last grafts shall grow, and bring forth the natural fruit,

then shall ye prepare the way for them, that they may grow.



Jacob 5:65

And as they begin to grow

ye shall clear away the branches which bring forth bitter fruit,

according to the strength of the good and the size thereof;

and ye shall not clear away the bad thereof all at once,

lest the roots thereof should be too strong for the graft,

and the graft thereof shall perish, and I lose the trees of my vineyard.



Jacob 5:68

And the branches of the natural tree will I graft into the natural branches of the tree;

and thus will I bring them together again,

that they shall bring forth the natural fruit,

and they shall be one.
