7For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:Select James 3:7

8But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.Select James 3:8

9Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.Select James 3:9

10Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.Select James 3:10
