James 3:5-6

New American Standard Bible

⁵ So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it ^(A)boasts of great things.

^(B)See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire! ⁶ And ^(C)the tongue is a fire, the very world of unrighteousness; the tongue is set among ^[a]our body’s parts as that which ^(D)defiles the whole body and sets on fire the course of our ^[b]life, and is set on fire by ^[c](E)hell.
