James 3:3-8 Behold, we put bits into the horses' mouths, that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Behold, we put bits into the horses' mouths, that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body. ⁴ Behold also the ships, though so great, and driven by tempestuous winds, are turned about by the smallest rudder, whithersoever the inclination of the pilot pleaseth. ⁵ So also the tongue is a little member, and proudly vaunts. Behold how great a pile of wood, a little fire kindleth! ⁶ And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: in such manner is the tongue placed among our members, that it defileth all the body, and setteth on fire the circle of nature; and is set on fire of hell. ⁷ For every species of wild beasts, and also of birds, of reptiles, and even of fishes, is tamed, and hath also been tamed by human ingenuity: ⁸ but the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
