James 3:8-10
Worldwide English (New Testament)
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.
10 Praising and wrong words come out of the same mouth! My brothers, this should not be so.
