James 3:9

9 With it we bless our[a] Lord and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in God's likeness.

James 3:9 In-Context

7 For every creature-animal or bird, reptile or fish-is tamed and has been tamed by man,
8 but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in God's likeness.
10 Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things should not be this way.
11 Does a spring pour out sweet and bitter water from the same opening?
