But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

aber die Zunge kann kein Mensch zähmen, das unruhige Übel, voll tödlichen Giftes.
Pero ningún hombre puede domar la lengua, que es un mal que no puede ser refrenado; llena de veneno mortal.
mais la langue, aucun homme ne peut la dompter; c'est un mal qu'on ne peut réprimer; elle est pleine d'un venin mortel.
ma niun uomo può domar la lingua; ella è un male che non si può rattenere; è piena di mortifero veleno.
Mas nenhum homem pode domar a língua. É um mal que não se pode refrear; está cheia de peçonha mortal.
惟獨舌頭沒有人能制伏,是永不靜止的邪惡,充滿了害死人的毒氣。
