Jas 3:7  For people have tamed and continue to tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures; 
Jas 3:8  but the tongue no one can tame—it is an unstable and evil thing, full of death-dealing poison! 
Jas 3:9  With it we bless Adonai, the Father; and with it we curse people, who were made in the image of God. 
Jas 3:10  Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing! Brothers, it isn't right for things to be this way. 
Jas 3:11  A spring doesn't send both fresh and bitter water from the same opening, does it? 
Jas 3:12  Can a fig tree yield olives, my brothers? or a grapevine, figs? Neither does salt water produce fresh.
