Also a youth shall be known by his doings, if pure and straight his work.

By their fruits shall ye know them. Far from it, do they gather grapes from thorns, or figs from caltrops

The way of man is crooked and strange: and the pure his work is right

Behold, I was born in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

The unjust turned aside from the belly: they went astray from the womb, speaking falsehood.

Folly being bound in the heart of a youth; the rod of correction shall remove it far off from him.

For he shall be great before the Lord, and wine and fermented liquor he should not drink; and with the Holy Spirit shall he be filled, even from his mother's womb.

And all having heard, set in their heart, saying, What then shall this child be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.

And it was after three days they found him in the temple, sitting, in the midst of teachers, and bearing them, and inquiring of them.

For it is not a good tree making decayed fruit; neither a decayed tree making good fruit.
