your life;

servant. May God enlarge Japheth,
and let him dwell in the tents of
Shem, and let Canaan be his
servant.”

but leave it to the wrath of God,

Lord.”

But no human being can tame the
tongue. It is a restless evil,
full of deadly poison. With it we

with it we curse people who are
made in the likeness of God. From
the same mouth come blessing and
cursing. My brothers, these things
ought not to be so.
(James 3:8-10)
