ગુજરાતીયાકૂબનો પત્ર ૩:૮
પણ જીભને કોઈ માણસ કાબુમાં રાખી શકતો નથી. તે બધે ફેલાતી મરકી છે અને પ્રાણઘાતક ઝેરથી ભરપૂર છે.
हिन्दीयाकूब ३:८
पर जीभ को मनुष्यों में से कोई वश में नहीं कर सकता; वह एक ऐसी बला है जो कभी रुकती ही नहीं; वह प्राणनाशक विष से भरी हुई है। (भज. 140:3)

In context

6And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna.

7For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and sea creature is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind;

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.
