1 Samuel 24:13

As says the proverb of the ancients, Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness, but my hand shall not be upon thee.

From their fruits ye will know them. Do they gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

So then from their fruits ye will know them.

Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt, for the tree is known by its fruit.

For from the heart comes forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, FALSE witnessings, revilings.

As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.

From their fruits ye will know them. Do they gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?

Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt, for the tree is known by its fruit.

For from the heart comes forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, FALSE witnessings, revilings.

His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own scalp.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for thee.

But the things coming out of the mouth come forth from the heart, and those things defile the man.
