Hebrews 6:7

A Call to Maturity

6and then have fallen away—to be restored to repentance, because they themselves are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting Him to open shame.7For land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is tended receives the blessing of God.8But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless, and its curse is imminent. In the end it will be burned.
