James 3:4 DBY

²  For we all often offend. If any one offend not in word, *he* [is] a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body too.

³  Behold, we put the bits in the mouths of the horses, that they may obey us, and we turn round their whole bodies.

⁴  Behold also the ships, which are so great, and driven by violent winds, are turned about by a very small rudder, wherever the pleasure of the helmsman will.

⁵  Thus also the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. See how little a fire, how large a wood it kindles!

⁶  and the tongue [is] fire, the world of unrighteousness; the tongue is set in our members, the defiler of the whole body, and which sets fire to the course of nature, and is set on fire of hell.
