International Standard Version The ax already lies against the roots of the trees. So every tree that isn't producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
American Standard Version And even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Young's Literal Translation and now also, the axe unto the root of the trees is laid, every tree therefore not bearing good fruit is hewn down, and to fire is cast.
