James 3:2-10

2 for we all stumble much. If anyone stumbles not in word, this one is a completed/shalamed man, also able to bridle the whole body. 3 Behold the horses; we put bits in their mouths to obey us; and we turn their whole body. 4 Behold, also the sailers; being so great and driven of hard winds; yet are they turned by a very short rudder wherever the violent impulse of the straightener wills. 5 Thus also the tongue; a little member that boasts mega. Behold, how much forest a little fire lights! 6 And the tongue is a fire - a cosmos of injustice: thus the tongue sits among our members to stain the whole body and inflame the track of genetics; and it is inflamed by Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning. 7 For all nature, both of beasts and of flyers, both of creepers and of those in the sea, is tamed - and has been tamed by human nature: 8 but the tongue, no human can tame - an unrestrainable evil full of death bearing venom: 9 therein we eulogize our Elohim and Father; and therein we curse humanity who became after the likeness of Elohim. 10 From the same mouth comes eulogy and cursing. My brothers, these need not be thus.

James 3:9-10
