5 So the tongue is a small part of the body, yet boasteth great things. Behold how much fuel a little fire kindleth! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our several parts, defiling the whole body, inflaming the course of nature, and is set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of wild beasts, and birds, and reptiles, and fishes, 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. 9 With it we bless God even the Father; and with it we curse men, who are made after the likeness of God: 10 out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. These things, my brethren, ought not so to be. James 3:5-10, Worsley New Testament. Public domain.
