2 Timothy 3:2-5 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,… A gourd had wound itself around a lofty palm, and in a few weeks climbed to its very top. "How old mayest thou be?" asked the new-comer. "About a hundred years." "About a hundred years and no taller? Only look: I have grown as tall as you in fewer days than you count years!" "I know that very well," replied the palm; "every summer of my life a gourd has climed up around me, as proud as thou art, and as short-lived as thou wilt be."
