James 3:8-12

8but the tongue can no one among men tame; [it is] an unsettled evil, full of death-bringing poison.

9Therewith bless we the Lord and Father, and therewith curse we men made after [the] likeness of 1God.

10Out of the same mouth goes forth blessing and cursing. It is not right, my brethren, that these things should be thus.

11Does the fountain, out of the same opening, pour forth sweet and bitter?

12Can, my brethren, a fig produce olives, or a vine figs? Neither [can] salt [water] make sweet water.
