The Hurtful Tongue

James 3:1–12

1Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.+ 2Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:+ 3Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:+ 4That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.+ 5They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?+ 6They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.+ 7But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.+ 8So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.+ 9And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.+ 10The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.+
