James 3:7-12

People can tame all sorts of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea, but no one can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With it we praise our GOD and FATHER, and with it we curse people who have been made in the image of GOD. Out of the same mouth comes praise and cursing. Dearly beloved, this ought not to be! Does fresh and salt water flow from the same spring? Dearly beloved, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? No, and you cannot get fresh water from a fountain of salt.
