James 3:7-12

7For everyG3956 1speciesG5449 of beastsG2342 and birdsG4071, of reptilesG2062 and creaturesG1724 ofG1724 theG1724 seaG1724, is tamedG1150 and has been tamedG1150 by the humanG442 2raceG5449. 8But noG3762 oneG3762 among mankindG444 canG1410 tameG1150 the tongueG1100; it is a restlessG182 evilG2556, fullG3324 of 3deadlyG2287 poisonG2447. 9With it we blessG2127 4our LordG2962 and FatherG3962, and with it we curseG2672 peopleG444, 5who have beenG1096 madeG1096 in the likenessG3669 of GodG2316; 10from the sameG846 mouthG4750 comeG1831 both blessingG2129 and cursingG2671. My brothersG80 and sisters, theseG3778 thingsG3778 shouldG5534 not be thisG3779 wayG3779. 11Does a springG4077 sendG1032 outG1032 from the sameG846 openingG3692 both 6freshG1099 and bitterG4089 water? 127CanG1410 a figG4808 treeG4808, my brothersG80 and sisters, bearG4160 olivesG1636, orG2228 a vineG288 bear figsG4810? NorG3777 can saltG252 waterG5204 produceG4160 8freshG1099.
