James 3:9 in Context — James 3
7 Toutes les espèces de bêtes et d’oiseaux, de reptiles et d’animaux marins, sont domptés et ont été domptés par la nature humaine;
8 mais la langue, aucun homme ne peut la dompter; c’est un mal qu’on ne peut réprimer; elle est pleine d’un venin mortel.
9 Par elle nous bénissons le Seigneur notre Père, et par elle nous maudissons les hommes faits à l’image de Dieu.
10 De la même bouche sortent la bénédiction et la malédiction. Il ne faut pas, mes frères, qu’il en soit ainsi.
11 La source fait-elle jaillir par la même ouverture l’eau douce et l’eau amère?
