James 3:6

Restraining The Tongue

⁵ So also the tongue is a little body-part, and boasts greatly. Behold a little fire, how much wood it kindles. ⁶ And the tongue is a fire, the world of unrighteousness. Thus, the tongue is made to lead among our body-parts, defiling the whole body, and setting the cycle of nature on fire, and being set on fire by hell. ⁷ For every species, both of beasts and of birds, both of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by the human species.
