This is scary: You can tame a tiger, but you can’t tame a tongue—it’s never been done. The tongue runs wild, a wanton killer. With our tongues we bless God our Father; with the same tongues we curse the very men and women he made in his image. Curses and blessings out of the same mouth!

Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way.

Praises and curses come from the same mouth! My brothers and sisters, this should not happen.

out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.

Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.

Out of the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. These things, my brothers, should not be this way [for we have a moral obligation to speak in a manner that reflects our fear of God and profound respect for His precepts].

And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right!

Out of the same mouth we pour out words of praise one minute and curses the next. My brothers and sisters, this should never be!

From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
