1 Samuel 24:13

as saith the simile of the ancients, From the wicked goeth out wickedness, and my hand is not on thee.

From their fruits ye shall know them; do men gather from thorns grapes? or from thistles figs?

therefore from their fruits ye shall know them.

'Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad, for from the fruit is the tree known.

for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, evil speakings:
