Book of James

For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and thing in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind.

But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the image of God.

Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?

Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.
