James 3:5
Compare all
3 Indeed, awe put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body.  
4 Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires.
5 Even so athe tongue is a little member and bboasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles!  
6 And athe tongue is a fire, a world of1 iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it bdefiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of2 nature; and it is set on fire by3 hell.  
7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind.
8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, afull of deadly poison.
