James 3:7-12

7For everyG3956 1speciesG5449 of beastsG2342 and birdsG4071, of reptilesG2062 and creaturesG1724 of the seaG1724, is tamedG1150 and has been tamedG1150 by the humanG442 2raceG5449. 8But noG3762 oneG3762G444 canG1410 tameG1150 the tongueG1100; it is a restlessG182 evilG2556 and fullG3324 of 3deadlyG2287 poisonG2447. 9With it we blessG2127 4our LordG2962 and FatherG3962, and with it we curseG2672 menG444, 5who have beenG1096 madeG1096 in the likenessG3669 of GodG2316; 10from the sameG846 mouthG4750 comeG1831 both blessingG2129 and cursingG2671. My brethrenG80, theseG3778 thingsG3778 oughtG5534 not to be thisG3779 wayG3779. 11Does a fountainG4077 sendG1032 out from the sameG846 openingG3692 both 6freshG1099 and bitterG4089 water? 127CanG1410 a figG4808 treeG4808, my brethrenG80, produceG4160 olivesG1636, orG2228 a vineG288 produceG4160 figsG4810? NorG3777 can saltG252 waterG5204 produceG4160 8freshG1099.
