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.
9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made ain the similitude of God.
