[For long unfruitfulness]

They saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots. —xi. 20.

For long unfruitfulness
If Christ the sinner curse,
Fearful and desperate is his case,
And only hell is worse:
His root is quite dried up,
His gracious day is o'er,
He can no more believe, or hope,
He can repent no more.
