The Greek word “bruo”

Found just once in the New Testament (Jas. 3:11), the Greek verb “bruo” meant “send forth,” “pour forth,” “gush,” “swell.” James said “a spring does not pour forth fresh and brackish water at the same time, an image of one’s mouth, out of which cursing and praising should not come at the same time” (Exegetical Dictionary of the New Testament, 1:228).
