James 3:6-8 And the tongue is like a fire i.e., like that spark. For the tongue, as a part of the body, is like the world of evil. It corrupts the entire life of a person and inflames the course of nature itself i.e., it affects a person throughout his whole earthly existence, and is ignited by hell itself i.e., the evil produced by the fiery tongue has hell as its source and destiny.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ And the tongue is [like] a fire [i.e., like that spark]. [For] the tongue, as a part of the body, is [like] the world of evil. It corrupts the entire life [of a person] and inflames the course of nature itself [i.e., it affects a person throughout his whole earthly existence], and is ignited by hell itself [i.e., the evil produced by the fiery tongue has hell as its source and destiny]. ⁷ For all kinds of animals and birds and reptiles and ocean creatures are being subdued and have been subdued by mankind, ⁸ but no one can subdue the tongue. It is an uncontrollable [source of] evil and full of deadly poison.
