7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.(A)
9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness.(B)
