James 3

9 With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in God’s likeness.  * 3:9 Gn 1:26; 1Co 11:710 Blessing and cursing come out of the same mouth. My brothers and sisters, these things should not be this way. 11 Does a spring pour out sweet and bitter water from the same opening? 12 Can a fig tree produce olives, my brothers and sisters, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a saltwater spring yield fresh water.
