James 3:7-9

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁷ People have been able to tame all kinds of animals, birds, snakes, and fish.

⁸ But no one can tame the tongue. It is a bad thing that will not be ruled. It is full of poison that can kill.

⁹ We praise our Lord and Father with our tongues. And we speak wrong words about people with our tongues, even though they were made like God.
