If it is cut down, it will sprout again,

and produce twigs like a sapling. - Psalm 1:1-3 CSB
How happy is the one who does not
walk in the advice of the wicked
or stand in the pathway with sinners
or sit in the company of mockers!

to glorify him. - Jeremiah 17:8 CSB

It will not worry in a year of drought
or cease producing fruit. - Ezekiel 17:22-24 CSB
“‘This is what the Lord God says:I will take a sprig
from the lofty top of the cedar and plant it.
I will pluck a tender sprig
from its topmost shoots,
and I will plant it
on a high towering mountain.
23 I will plant it on Israel’s high mountain
so that it may bear branches, produce fruit,
and become a majestic cedar.
Birds of every kind will nest under it,
taking shelter in the shade of its branches.
24 Then all the trees of the field will know
that I am the Lord.
I bring down the tall tree,
and make the low tree tall.
I cause the green tree to wither
and make the withered tree thrive.
I, the Lord, have spoken
and I will do it.’” - Matthew 3:10 CSB (John the Baptist speaking of Pharisees and Saduccees)

An evil person produces evil out of the evil stored up in his heart, for his mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart. - Romans 11:24 CSB
