A World of Iniquity
James 3:5-6
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindles!…


A new-found world, Not a city or country only, but "a world of iniquity"; a sink, a sea of sin, wherein there is not only that leviathan, but creeping things innumerable (Psalm 104:26).

(J. Trapp.)
