¹⁹ Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.^(A)

⁷ Ground that drinks up the rain falling on it repeatedly and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is cultivated receives a blessing from God.^(A)

⁸ But if it produces thorns and thistles, it is worthless and on the verge of being cursed; its end is to be burned over.^(A)
