James 3:11 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Doth a fountain send forth at the same place - Margin, “hole.” The Greek word means “opening, fissure,” such as there is in the earth, or in rocks from which a fountain gushes.

Sweet water and bitter - Fresh water and salt, James 3:12. Such things do not occur in the works of nature, and they should not be found in man.

James 3:11

11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same placee sweet water and bitter?
