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.

10 From the same mouth comes eulogy and cursing. My brothers, these need not be thus.
