James 3:3-5

Jubilee Bible 2000

³ Behold, we put bits (or restraint) in the horses’ mouths to persuade them, and we govern their whole body.

⁴ Behold also the ships, which though they are so great are driven of fierce winds, yet they are governed with a very small rudder, wherever the governor desires.

⁵ In the same manner, the tongue is a very small member and boasts of great things. Behold, how great a forest a little fire kindles!
