84 And because that it hath brought forth so much evil fruit, thou beholdest that it beginneth to perish: and it will soon become ripened, that it may be cast into the fire, except we should do something for it to preserve it.
85 And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard said unto his servant, Let us go down into the nethermost parts of the vineyard, and behold if the natural branches have also brought forth evil fruit.
86 And it came to pass that they went down into the nethermost parts of the vineyard.
87 And it came to pass that they beheld that the fruit of the natural branches had become corrupt also; yea, the first, and the second, and also the last; and they had all become corrupt.
88 And the wild fruit of the last, had overcome that part of the tree which brought forth good fruit, even that the branch had withered away and died.
89 And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard wept, and said unto the servant, What could I have done more for my vineyard?
90 Behold, I knew that all the fruit of the vineyard, save it were these, had become corrupted.
91 And now, these which once brought forth good fruit, have also become corrupted.
92 And now, all the trees of my vineyard are good for nothing, save it be to be hewn down and cast into the fire.
93 And behold, this last, whose branch hath withered away, I did plant in a good spot of ground; yea, even that which was choice unto me, above all the other parts of the land of my vineyard.
94 And thou beheldest that I also cut down that which cumbered this spot of ground, that I might plant this tree in the stead thereof.
