Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 27:6

γεώργιον ξύλου ἐκφαίνει ὁ καρπὸς αὐτοῦ, οὕτως λόγος ἐνθυμήματος καρδίας ἀνθρώπου.
King James Version (KJV)

The fruit declareth if the tree have been dressed; so is the utterance of a conceit in the heart of man.

Modern English

The fruit shows whether a tree has been tended, so a person's speech reveals the thought behind it.
