6 And athe tongue is a fire, a world of1 iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it bdefiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of2 nature; and it is set on fire by3 hell.
7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind.
8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, afull of deadly poison.
9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made ain the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.
11 Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening?
