my mouth
James notes how "out of the same mouth flow blessing and cursing." He opposes this saying, "a spring cannot produce both fresh and salt water." The proverb here shows two different ways the mouth can act: righteous or wicked. A wicked mouth spews violence, doing damage to those it speaks at. But the mouth of a righteous man gives life, enhancing the experience of those with whom it speaks.
Do my words do damage to others or enhance others' lives?
