James 3:6-9 And the tongue is a fire, a world of wickedness. The tongue stands among our members as that which spots the whole body and sets on fire the wheel of nature and is itself set on fire by Gehenna.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ And the tongue is a fire, a world of wickedness. The tongue stands among our members as that which spots the whole body and sets on fire the wheel of nature and is itself set on fire by Gehenna. ⁷ For every kind of wild beasts and birds and reptiles and animals from the sea is tamed and has been tamed by human kind, ⁸ but the tongue no man is able to tame. It is a restless evil; it is full of deadly poison. ⁹ With it we bless the Lord our Father and with it we curse the men who are made in the image of God.
