ગુજરાતીયાકૂબનો પત્ર ૩:૧૦
એક જ મોંમાંથી સ્તુતિ તથા શાપ નીકળે છે. મારા ભાઈઓ, આમ તો ન જ થવું જોઈએ.
हिन्दीयाकूब ३:१०
एक ही मुँह से स्तुति और श्राप दोनों निकलते हैं। हे मेरे भाइयों, ऐसा नहीं होना चाहिए।

In context

8but nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

9With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image of God.

10Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

11Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?

12Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.
