James 3:7-9

English Standard Version

⁷ For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, ⁸ but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, ^(A)full of deadly poison. ⁹ With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people ^(B)who are made in the likeness of God.
