James 3:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ but no one can tame the tongue. It is ·wild and evil [or a restless evil; or an uncontrollable evil] and full of deadly poison. ⁹ ·We use our tongues to [^LWith it we] ·praise [bless] our Lord and Father, but ·then [^Lwith it] we curse people, whom God made ·like himself [^Lin his likeness; Gen. 1:27]. ¹⁰ Praises and curses come from the same mouth! My ·brothers and sisters [^Cfellow believers], this should not happen.
