"Be the dressing of a tree sheweth the fruit thereof, so a word out of the thought of the heart of man."
Sirach 27:7

In context

5As when one sifteth with a sieve, the dust will remain: so will the perplexity of a man in his thoughts.

6The furnace trieth the potter’s vessels, and the trial of affliction just men.

7Be the dressing of a tree sheweth the fruit thereof, so a word out of the thought of the heart of man.

8Praise not a man before he speaketh, for this is the trial of men.

9If thou followest justice, thou shalt obtain her: and shalt put her on as a long robe of honour, and thou shalt dwell with her: and she shall protect thee for ever, and in the day of acknowledgment thou shalt find a strong foundation.
