NASB
"Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a vine produce figs? Nor can salt water produce fresh."
— James 3:12, NASB
“Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.”
“can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? neither can salt water yield sweet. ”
“Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.”
“Can a fig tree produce olives, my brothers and sisters, or a vine produce figs? Neither can a salt water spring produce fresh water.”
“Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear grapes? Or the vine, figs? So neither can the salt water yield sweet.”
“Is a fig-tree able to give us olives, my brothers, or do we get figs from a vine, or sweet water from the salt sea?”
“Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.”
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.
This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic.
