MyG3450 brethrenG80, beG1096 notG3361 manyG4183 mastersG1320, knowingG1492 thatG3754 we shall receiveG2983 the greaterG3187 condemnationG2917. {condemnation: or, judgment}
ForG1063 in many thingsG4183 we offendG4417 allG537. If any manG1536 offendG4417 notG3756 inG1722 wordG3056, the sameG3778 is a perfectG5046 manG435, and ableG1415 alsoG2532 to bridleG5468 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983.
BeholdG2400, we putG906 bitsG5469 inG1519 the horses'G2462 mouthsG4750, thatG4314 theyG846 may obeyG3982 usG2254; andG2532 we turn aboutG3329 theirG846 wholeG3650 bodyG4983.
BeholdG2400 alsoG2532 the shipsG4143, which though they beG5607 so greatG5082, andG2532 are drivenG1643 ofG5259 fierceG4642 windsG417, yet are they turned aboutG3329 withG5259 a very smallG1646 helmG4079, whithersoeverG3699+G302 the governorG2116 listethG3730+G1014.
EvenG2532 soG3779 the tongueG1100 isG2076 a littleG3398 memberG3196, andG2532 boasteth great thingsG3166. BeholdG2400, how greatG2245 a matterG5208 a littleG3641 fireG4442 kindlethG381! {a matter: or, wood}
AndG2532 the tongueG1100 is a fireG4442, a worldG2889 of iniquityG93: soG3779 isG2525 the tongueG1100 amongG1722 ourG2257 membersG3196, that it defilethG4695 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983, andG2532 setteth on fireG5394 the courseG5164 of natureG1078; andG2532 it is set on fireG5394 ofG5259 hellG1067. {course: Gr. wheel}
ForG1063 everyG3956 kindG5449 of beastsG2342, andG5037+G2532 of birdsG4071, andG5037 of serpentsG2062, andG2532 of things in the seaG1724, is tamedG1150, andG2532 hath been tamedG1150 of mankindG5449+G442: {kind: Gr. nature} {mankind: Gr. nature of man}
ButG1161 the tongueG1100 canG1410 noG3762 manG444 tameG1150; it is an unrulyG183 evilG2556, fullG3324 of deadlyG2287 poisonG2447.
TherewithG1722+G846 bless weG2127 GodG2316, evenG2532 the FatherG3962; andG2532 therewithG1722+G846 curse weG2672 menG444, whichG3588 are madeG1096 afterG2596 the similitudeG3669 of GodG2316.
Out ofG1537 the sameG846 mouthG4750 proceedethG1831 blessingG2129 andG2532 cursingG2671. MyG3450 brethrenG80, these thingsG5023 oughtG5534 notG3756 soG3779 to beG1096.
DothG3385 a fountainG4077 send forthG1032 atG1537 the sameG846 placeG3692 sweetG1099 water andG2532 bitterG4089? {place: or, hole}
CanG3361+G1410 the fig treeG4808, myG3450 brethrenG80, bearG4160 olive berriesG1636? eitherG2228 a vineG288, figsG4810? soG3779 can noG3762 fountainG4077 both yieldG4160 saltG252 waterG5204 andG2532 freshG1099.
WhoG5101 is a wise manG4680 andG2532 endued with knowledgeG1990 amongG1722 youG5213? let him shewG1166 out ofG1537 a goodG2570 conversationG391 hisG846 worksG2041 withG1722 meeknessG4240 of wisdomG4678.
ButG1161 ifG1487 ye haveG2192 bitterG4089 envyingG2205 andG2532 strifeG2052 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588, gloryG2620 notG3361, andG2532 lie notG5574 againstG2596 the truthG225.
ThisG3778 wisdomG4678 descendethG2076+G2718 notG3756 from aboveG509, butG235 is earthlyG1919, sensualG5591, devilishG1141. {sensual: or, natural}
ForG1063 whereG3699 envyingG2205 andG2532 strifeG2052 is, thereG1563 is confusionG181 andG2532 everyG3956 evilG5337 workG4229. {confusion: Gr. tumult or unquietness}
ButG1161 the wisdomG4678 that is from aboveG509 isG2076 firstG4412 pureG3303+G53, thenG1899 peaceableG1516, gentleG1933, and easy to be intreatedG2138, fullG3324 of mercyG1656 andG2532 goodG18 fruitsG2590, without partialityG87, andG2532 without hypocrisyG505. {partiality: or, wrangling}
AndG1161 the fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343 is sownG4687 inG1722 peaceG1515 of them that makeG4160 peaceG1515.

The words of his mouthH6310 were smootherH2505 than butterH4260, but warH7128 was in his heartH3820: his wordsH1697 were softerH7401 than oilH8081, yet were they drawn swordsH6609.
Their poisonH2534 is likeH1823 the poisonH2534 of a serpentH5175: they are like the deafH2795 adderH6620 that stoppethH331 her earH241; {like the poison: Heb. according to the likeness, etc} {adder: or, asp}
My soulH5315 is amongH8432 lionsH3833: and I lieH7901 even among them that are set on fireH3857, even the sonsH1121 of menH120, whose teethH8127 are spearsH2595 and arrowsH2671, and their tongueH3956 a sharpH2299 swordH2719.
They have sharpenedH8150 their tonguesH3956 like a serpentH5175; adders'H5919 poisonH2534 is under their lipsH8193. SelahH5542.
Behold, they belch outH5042 with their mouthH6310: swordsH2719 are in their lipsH8193: for who, say they, doth hearH8085?
Surely the serpentH5175 will biteH5391 without enchantmentH3908; and a babblerH3956+H1167 is no betterH3504. {a babbler: Heb. the master of the tongue}
Who whetH8150 their tongueH3956 like a swordH2719, and bendH1869 their bows to shoot their arrowsH2671, even bitterH4751 wordsH1697:
TheirG846 throatG2995 is an openG455 sepulchreG5028; with theirG846 tonguesG1100 they have used deceitG1387; the poisonG2447 of aspsG785 is underG5259 theirG846 lipsG5491:
