James 3:5-8 So, also, the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a forest does a little fire set in a blaze.

Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ So, also, the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a forest does a little fire set in a blaze. ⁶ And the tongue is a fire, the world of iniquity. So is the tongue placed among our members, defiling the whole body, setting on fire the course of life, and being set on fire by hell. ⁷ For every kind of beasts and of birds, of creeping things and of things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by man: ⁸ but the tongue no man can tame; it is an unruly evil; it is full of deadly poison.
