(Etheridge) Or can the fig-tree, my brethren, make olives, or the vines figs? thus also ^{[Hocano oph.]} salt waters cannot be made sweet.

(Murdock) Or can the fig-tree, my brethren, bear olives? or the vine, figs ? So also salt waters cannot be made sweet.

(Lamsa) Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olives? Or the vine, figs? likewise also salt water cannot be made sweet.

(KJV) Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
