Jacob 5:7

And it came to pass that the master of the vineyard saw it,

and he said unto his servant:

it grieveth me that I should lose this tree;

wherefore, go and pluck the branches from a wild olive tree,

and bring them hither unto me;

and we will pluck off those main branches

which are beginning to wither away,

and we will cast them into the fire that they may be burned.

Jacob 5:11

And the Lord of the vineyard caused

that it should be digged about, and pruned, and nourished,

saying unto his servant:

it grieveth me that I should lose this tree;

wherefore, that perhaps I might preserve the roots thereof

that they perish not, that I might preserve them unto myself,

I have done this thing.

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 5:32

But behold, this time it hath brought forth much fruit,

and there is none of it which is good.

And behold, there are all kinds of bad fruit;

and it profiteth me nothing, notwithstanding all our labor;

and now it grieveth me that I should lose this tree.
