James 3:10 Meaning and Commentary

James 3:10

Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing
Which is not only a contradiction, but unnatural, as well as wicked and sinful:

my brethren, these things ought not so to be:
in any, and much less in professors of religion: such things are unbecoming men, are a scandal upon human nature, and exceeding unworthy of the Christian name; see ( Psalms 50:16 Psalms 50:19 Psalms 50:20 ) .

James 3:10 In-Context

8 but the tongue can no one among men tame; [it is] an unsettled evil, full of death-bringing poison.

9 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father, and therewith curse we men made after [the] likeness of God.

10 Out of the same mouth goes forth blessing and cursing. It is not right, my brethren, that these things should be thus.

11 Does the fountain, out of the same opening, pour forth sweet and bitter?

12 Can, my brethren, a fig produce olives, or a vine figs? Neither [can] salt [water] make sweet water.
