James 3:8
| ← James 3:7 | James 3:8 (KJV) | James 3:9 → |
|---|---|---|
For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
|
But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
|
Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
