Accurately describe the following fruit from a man that is described as being after God's own heart, a man that writes most Psalms and a man that speaks of his salvation in the present tense.

B. Murder, adultry and numbering the people...

You've grown by leaps and bounds over the antagonists who bear bad fruit.

They'll be practicing malice, ridicule, mockery and works of the flesh on here tonight, tomorrow, the next day, week, month, years unless God intervenes.
