James 3:5-10 So also the tongue is a small member and makes great boasts. Behold, how great a forest is set on fire by a little spark!

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ So also the tongue is a small member and makes great boasts. Behold, how great a forest is set on fire by a little spark! ⁶ And the tongue is a fire; it is a very world of iniquity among our members, defiling the whole body, and setting on fire the wheel of nature, and is itself set on fire by hell. ⁷ For while every kind of beast and bird, and of reptiles and sea-creatures are tamable, and actually have been tamed by mankind, ⁸ no man can tame the tongue, restless evil that it is, full of deadly poison. ⁹ With it we continually bless our Lord and Father, and with it we are accustomed to curse men made in the image of God. ¹⁰ From out of the same mouth pour forth blessings and cursings! My brothers, this ought not to be so.
