3  For behold, thus saith the Lord, I will liken thee, O house of Israel, like unto a tame ^bolive tree, which a man took and nourished in his vineyard; and it grew, and waxed old, and began to decay.

  1  And now, behold, my brethren, as I said unto you that I would prophesy, behold, this is my prophecy—that the things which this prophet Zenos spake, concerning the house of Israel, in the which he likened them unto a tame ^bolive tree, must surely come to pass.
