In context

¹⁰Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be!

¹¹Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?

¹²My brothers, can a fig tree grow olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

¹³Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

¹⁴But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth.
