Luke 13:7 — Meaning and Application

I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

He spake also this parable; A certain {man} had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung {it}:

And if it bear fruit, {well}: and if not, {then} after that thou shalt cut it down.
