James 3:4-6

Young's Literal Translation

⁴ lo, also the ships, being so great, and by fierce winds being driven, are led about by a very small helm, whithersoever the impulse of the helmsman doth counsel,

⁵ so also the tongue is a little member, and doth boast greatly; lo, a little fire how much wood it doth kindle!

⁶ and the tongue [is] a fire, the world of the unrighteousness, so the tongue is set in our members, which is spotting our whole body, and is setting on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by the gehenna.
