Psalms 92:12-
14 The
righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a
cedar in Lebanon. ...
They shall still bring forth fruit
in old age; they shall be fat and
flourishing;
Isaiah 5:4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them
beauty for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning,
the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be
called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD,
that he might be glorified.
Jeremiah 2:21 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine,
wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned
into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?

now also
the axe is laid unto the root of the trees:
therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit
is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Matthew 7:16-
20 Ye
shall know them by their fruits.
Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? ... Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Matthew 12:33 Either make the tree good,
and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by [
his] fruit.
