James 3:6

Restraining The Tongue

⁵ Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. Behold how little a fire kindles how large a forest! ⁶ And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. So the tongue is set among our members, spotting all the body and inflaming the course of nature, and being inflamed by hell. ⁷ For every kind of animals, and of birds, and of reptiles, and of sea-animals, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind.
