8. But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.9. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the simlitude of God.10. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessings and cursings. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? 12. Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.13. Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.14. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. James 3:8-16 ?? James the book of wisdom in the New Testament, gives sound advise, about how we speak. The tongue, a small member of the body, but oh, how much damage can it do. Mostly deliberate, but at some times, without knowing. Can we bless God? And with cursing speak against others. These things should not be, we are daily accountable, for what comes out of this mouth, and we should bless, as the Lord, has blessed us, even when we were not in His way. Always speaking peace, no matter, what is thrust upon us, it pleases the Father, to witness, us bearing wrong, and speaking right. It is the Holy Spirit of God, that enables us to do good, and speak good, in the place of evil, for the tongue, can no man tame, it is the very small spark, that sets, the forest on fire. Amen.
