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 no man or woman is able to tame. It is an ever-busy mischief, and is full of deadly poison.

9 With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in God's likeness.

10 Out of the same mouth there proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, this ought not to be.

11 In a fountain, are fresh water and bitter sent forth from the same opening?

12 Can a fig-tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine yield figs? No; and neither can salt water yield sweet.
