James 3:9 DBY

⁷  For every species both of beasts and of birds, both of creeping things and of sea animals, is tamed and has been tamed by the human species;

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

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

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

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