James 3:6-10
6The tongue also is a fire,
a world of evil among the parts of the body.
It corrupts the whole person,
sets the whole course of his life on fire,
and is itself set on fire by hell.
7All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and
creatures of the sea are being tamed
and have been tamed by man,
8but no man can tame the tongue.
It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father,
and with it we curse men,
who have been made in God's likeness.
10Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing.
My brothers, this should not be.
James 3:6-10
