11 Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening?
12 Can a afig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs?1 Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.
Heavenly Versus Demonic Wisdom
13 aWho is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.
14 But if you have abitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, bdo not boast and lie against the truth.
