NASB
"Does a fountain send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water?"
— James 3:11, NASB
“Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?”
“Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet water and bitter? ”
“Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?”
“A spring does not pour out fresh water and bitter water from the same opening, does it?”
“Doth a fountain send forth, out of the same hole, sweet and bitter water?”
“Does the fountain send from the same outlet sweet and bitter water?”
“Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?”
But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison.
With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God;
from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way.
Does a fountain send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water?
Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a vine produce figs? Nor can salt water produce fresh.
Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.
But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth.
