James 3:6 WBT

⁴  Behold also the ships, which though they are so great, and [are] driven by fierce winds, yet they are turned about with a very small helm, withersoever the governor willeth.

⁵  Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

⁶  And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire from hell.

⁷  For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of animals in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind:

⁸  But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
