Lesson One: Psalm 19:1-6
1 The heavens are telling the glory of God;
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours forth speech,
and night to night declares knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words;
their voice is not heard;
4 yet their voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In the heavens he has set a tent for the sun,
5 which comes out like a bridegroom from his
wedding canopy,
and like a strong man runs its course with joy.
6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
and its circuit to the end of them;
and nothing is hid from its heat.

Lesson Two: James 3:1-12
1 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters, for
you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. 2 For
all of us make many mistakes. Anyone who makes no mistakes in
speaking is perfect, able to keep the whole body in check with a
bridle. 3 If we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us,
we guide their whole bodies. 4 Or look at ships: though they are so large
that it takes strong winds to drive them, yet they are guided by a very
small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. 5 So also the tongue
is a small member, yet it boasts of great exploits. How great a forest is
set ablaze by a small fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire. The tongue is placed
among our members as a world of iniquity; it stains the whole body, sets
on fire the cycle of nature, and is itself set on fire by hell. 7 For every
species of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and
has been tamed by the human species, 8 but no one can tame the
tongue—a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless the Lord
and Father, and with it we curse those who are made in the likeness of
God. 10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers
and sisters, this ought not to be so. 11 Does a spring pour forth from the
same opening both fresh and brackish water? 12 Can a fig tree, my
brothers and sisters, yield olives, or a grapevine figs? No more can salt
water yield fresh.
