Yaakov 3:8-12 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

8. But the Lashon no one of Bnei Adam is able to tame, an uncontrollable ra'ah (evil), full of deadly zuhamah (contamination).

9. With this we say a bracha to Hashem, Adoneinu and Avoteynu, and with this we put a kelalah (curse) on Bnei Adam, who have been created according to the demut Elohim [Gn 1:26,27).

10. Out of the same PEH comes forth bracha and also kelalah. My Achim b'Moshiach, these things ought not to be.

11. Surely not out of the same makor (fountain) pours forth mayim both sweet and bitter?

12. Surely an etz te'enah (fig tree) cannot yield olives, my Achim b'Moshiach, or a grape vine figs? Neither can salt water yield sweet water.
