James 3:9 in Context — James 3

7 Porque toda naturaleza de bestias, y de aves, y de serpientes, y de seres de la mar, se doma y es domada de la naturaleza humana:

8 Pero ningún hombre puede domar la lengua, [que es] un mal que no puede ser refrenado; llena de veneno mortal.

9 Con ella bendecimos al Dios y Padre, y con ella maldecimos á los hombres, los cuales son hechos á la semejanza de Dios.

10 De una misma boca proceden bendición y maldición. Hermanos míos, no conviene que estas cosas sean así hechas.

11 ¿Echa alguna fuente por una misma abertura agua dulce y amarga?
