James 3:2-6

Etheridge(i) 2 For (in) many we all offend. Every one who in word offendeth not, this is a perfect man, who is able to make subject also all his body. 3 For, behold, bridles into the mouth of horses we throw that we may make them submissive to us, and their whole body we turn. 4 Also the mighty ships, while the furious winds drive them, by a little wood are turned about to the region which the will of him who guideth doth contemplate. 5 So also the tongue is a small member, and uplifteth itself. A little fire also burneth many forests; [Obee sagiyee mauqdo.] 6 and the tongue is a fire, a world of sin, like a forest is the tongue itself among our members; it defileth all of our body, and burneth the course of our generations which run (forward) as a wheel, and kindleth also itself with fire.
