Jacob 5:66

For it grieveth me that I should lose the trees of my vineyard; wherefore, ye shall clear away the bad, according as the good shall grow, that the root and the top may be equal in strength, until the good shall overcome the bad, and the bad be hewn down and cast into the fire, that they cumber not the ground of my vineyard; and thus will I sweep away the bad out of my vineyard.

“I am sad that I might lose my vineyard trees. So clear away the bad branches as the good ones grow. Make the roots and top equal in strength. Do this until the good beats the bad. Then cut down the bad and burn them so they don’t clutter my vineyard. This is how I will clear the bad from my vineyard.”

“It would break my heart to lose these trees. So clear away the bad only as the good grows stronger, keeping the root and branches balanced in strength. Eventually the good will overcome the bad, and the bad can be cut down and burned so it doesn’t clutter my vineyard. That’s how I’ll sweep the bad out of my vineyard.”
