James 3:2-12

2 For in many things we offend everyone. If any man does not offend in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. 3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn around their whole body. 4 Behold also the ships, which although they are so large, and are driven by fierce winds, yet they are turned about with a very small rudder, to wherever the pilot inclines the ship. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindles! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: Thus is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. 7 For every kind of beast, and birds, serpents, and things in the sea are tamed, and have been tamed by mankind: 8 But no man can tame the tongue; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless God, even the Father; and with it we curse men, who are made in the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. 11 Does a fountain send forth fresh water and bitter at the same place? 12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? Either can a vine, figs? So no fountain can yield both salt water and fresh.
