Omnia poma nova, et vetera dilecte mi servavi tibi.
Mandragorae dederunt odorem in portis nostris omnia poma : nova et vetera, dilecte mi, servavi tibi.
The mandrakes give a smell. In our gates are all fruits: the new and the old, my beloved, I have kept for thee.

Et terra gignet germen suum, et pomis arbores replebuntur.
And the ground shall bring forth its increase, and the trees shall be filled with fruit.

Excidetur, et in ignem mittentur.
Jam enim securis ad radicem arborum posita est. Omnis ergo arbor non faciens fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur.
For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down and cast into the fire.

Poma desiderii animae tuae.
Et poma desiderii animae tuae discesserunt a te, et omnia pinguia et praeclara perierunt a te, et amplius illa jam non invenient.  
And the fruits of the desire of thy soul are departed from thee, and all fat and goodly things are perished from thee, and they shall find them no more at all.
Apocalypse 18.14
Numquam ex te fructus nascatur.
Et videns fici arborem unam secus viam, venit ad eam : et nihil invenit in ea nisi folia tantum, et ait illi : Numquam ex te fructus nascatur in sempiternum. Et arefacta est continuo ficulnea.
And seeing a certain fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only, and he saith to it: May no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away.
Matthew 21.19
