James 3:4-6

1. 4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.

2. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

3. 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
