James 3:5-8

Goodspeed(i) 5 So the tongue is a little organ and yet very boastful. What a great forest a spark will set on fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of wrong the tongue proves in our bodies, soiling the whole body and setting fire to the whole round of nature, and set on fire itself by hell. 7 For every kind of animal and bird, reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by man, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is an irreconcilable evil, full of deadly poison.
