James 3:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ For the whole nature of beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and things of the sea is tamed (and has been tamed) by mankind.

⁸ But no one can tame the tongue - an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

⁹ With it we bless God, even the Father. And with it we curse man, who is made in the image of God.
