9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the image of God.

10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Nor is salt water able to produce sweet.
