^tNo disaster shall come upon us.”

A Tree and Its Fruit

15 ^u“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ^vravenous wolves. 16 You will recognize them ^wby their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, ^xevery healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.
