James 3:7-12

7For every kind of beastsG2342 and birdsG4071, of creeping thingsG3956 and thingsG3956 in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind: 8but the tongueG1100 can no manG444 tame; it is a restless evilG2556, it is fullG3324 of deadly poison. 9Therewith blessG2127 we the LordG2962 and FatherG3962; and therewith curseG2672 we menG444, who are made after the likeness of GodG2316: 10out of the sameG846 mouthG4750 cometh forthG1831 blessingG2129 and cursingG2671. My brethren, these thingsG3778 ought not so to be. 11Doth the fountain send forth from the sameG846 opening sweetG1099 water and bitterG4089? 12can a figG4808 treeG4808, my brethren, yield olivesG1636, or a vineG288 figsG4810? neither can salt waterG5204 yield sweetG1099.
