James 3:5-6 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Likewise, a small fire sets ablaze the large forests.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Likewise, a small fire sets ablaze the large forests. ⁶ The tongue is a fire, and the sinful world like a forest: that very tongue, while it is among our members, can defile our whole body, and set on fire the records of our race which have rolled down from the beginning: and in the end it is consumed by fire.
