33“EitherG2228 makeG4160 the treeG1186 goodG2570 and its fruitG2590 goodG2570, orG2228 makeG4160 the treeG1186 badG4550 and its fruitG2590 badG4550; for 1the treeG1186 is knownG1097 by its fruitG2590. 342You broodG1081 of vipersG2191, howG4459 canG1410 you, beingG1510 evilG4190, speakG2980 3what is goodG18? 4For the mouthG4750 speaksG2980 out of that whichG4051 fillsG4051 the heartG2588. 355The goodG18 manG444 bringsG1544 out of his goodG18 treasureG2344 6what is goodG18; and the evilG4190 manG444 bringsG1544 out of his evilG4190 treasureG2344 7what is evilG4190. 36But I tellG3004 you that everyG3956 8carelessG692 wordG4487 that peopleG444 9speakG2980, they shall giveG591 an accountingG3056 for it in 10the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920. 37For 11by your wordsG3056 you will be justifiedG1344, and 12by your wordsG3056 you will be condemnedG2613.”
