From the Epistle of James,
in the New Testament of the Holy Bible:
Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body; and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. 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. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.-James 3:3-12***The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the destructive words of those who are worthless blaze like fire. Every evil and violent person has a perverse heart, a sharpened tongue, speaks poisonous words, and is on a continual mission to spread strife and wars. The divinely inspired writer of the Epistle of James, widely regarded to be James, a sibling who lived in the home in Nazareth with Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, explained that no person on the planet has the ability within their natural self to tame their tongue.-Genesis 11:26-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Psalm 36, Psalm 50, Psalm 52, Psalm 57, Psalm 140, Proverbs 6:1-35, 16:1-33, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, James
