James 3:9-12 With the tongue we bless the Lord and Father, and with the tongue we curse men made in God's likeness;

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ With the tongue we bless the Lord and Father, and with the tongue we curse men made in God's likeness; ¹⁰ blessing and cursing stream from the same lips! My brothers, this ought not to be. ¹¹ Does a fountain pour out fresh water and brackish from the same hole? ¹² Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives? Or a vine, figs? No more can salt water yield fresh.
