James 3:7-12

7For every 1species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human 2race. 8But no one among mankind can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil, full of 3deadly poison. 9With it we bless 4our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people, 5who have been made in the likeness of God; 10from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brothers and sisters, these things should not be this way. 11Does a spring send out from the same opening both 6fresh and bitter water? 127Can a fig tree, my brothers and sisters, bear olives, or a vine bear figs? Nor can salt water produce 8fresh.
