Proverbs 6:27

Can a man embrace fire
and his clothes not be burned?

If my heart has been seduced by my neighbor’s wife
or I have lurked at his door,

All of them commit adultery;
they are like an oven heated by a baker
who stops stirring the fire
from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.

So too, though the tongue is a small part of the body, it boasts great things. Consider how large a forest a small fire ignites.
