James 3:5-8

Living_Oracles(i) 5 so, also, the tongue is a little member, yet it works mightily. Behold, how much wood a little fire kindles! 6 Now the tongue is a fire-a world of iniquity; the tongue is so placed among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and sets the wheel of nature in a blaze, and is set on fire from hell. 7 Now every species of wild beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of sea monsters, is subdued, and has been subdued by man: 8 but the tongue of men, no one can subdue; it is an unruly evil thing, full of deadly poison.
