1 Samuel 24:13

Just like the ancient proverb says, "From wicked people comes wickedness,' but I'm not against you.

You will know them by their fruit. Grapes aren't gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles, are they?

So by their fruit you will know them."

"Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten, because a tree is known by its fruit.

It is out of the heart that evil thoughts come, as well as murder, adultery, sexual immorality, stealing, false testimony, and slander.

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

You will know them by their fruit. Grapes aren't gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles, are they?

"Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten, because a tree is known by its fruit.

It is out of the heart that evil thoughts come, as well as murder, adultery, sexual immorality, stealing, false testimony, and slander.

The trouble he planned will return on his own head, and his violence will descend on his skull.

Integrity and justice will preserve me, because I wait on you.

But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and it is those things that make a person unclean.
