James 3:11

New International Version

Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?

See the chapter Copy

As a well pours out its water, so she pours out her wickedness. Violence and destruction resound in her; her sickness and wounds are ever before me.

Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.

My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
