James 3:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ We humans are able to tame and have tamed all other creatures—wild animals and birds, reptiles and fish. ⁸ But no one has ever been able to tame the tongue. It is evil and uncontrollable, full of deadly poison. ^9 (A)We use it to give thanks to our Lord and Father and also to curse other people, who are created in the likeness of God.
