James 3:7 · American Standard Version

James 3:7 in context

  1. 5So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!
  2. 6And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna.
  3. 7For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and sea creature, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind;
  4. 8but nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
  5. 9With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image of God.
