James 3:4-6

Williams(i) 4 Look at ships, too; though great and driven by violent winds, they are steered with a tiny rudder wherever the pilot pleases. 5 So the tongue, too, is a little organ but can boast of great achievements. See how a spark, ever so tiny, can set a vast forest on fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire, and takes its place among the parts of our bodies as a world of evil; it soils the whole body and sets on fire the circle of man's nature, and itself is set on fire by hell.
