James 3v6-12

Heavenly father
give us grace today to bless other people, particularly in what we say. 

⁶ And the tongue is a fire.
The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue,
which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna. 
⁷ For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and sea creature, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind; 
⁸ but nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 
⁹ With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image of God. 
¹⁰ Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. 
¹¹ Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water? 
¹² Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.
