Proverbs 6:27

Can a man carry fire in his lap, and his clothes not burn?

"If my heart has been enticed by a woman, and at my neighbor's doorway I have lain in wait,

All of them commit adultery, like a burning oven whose baker has stopped from stirring the fire, and from kneading [the] dough until it is leavened.

So also the tongue is a small member [of the body] and boasts great [things]. Behold how small a fire sets ablaze how great a forest!
