The Holy Bible, English Standard Version

James 3:6
<< James 2 | James 3 | James 4 >>

And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, [1] and set on fire by hell. [2]

James 3:9-10
<< James 2 | James 3 | James 4 >>

With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. 10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, [3] these things ought not to be so.
