James 3:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

³ Behold, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they will obey us. And we direct their whole body.

⁴ Also, behold the ships. Though they are so great and are driven by fierce winds, they are still directed with a very small rudder, wherever the helmsman wishes.

⁵ Even so the tongue is a small member and boasts of great things. Behold how great a thing a little fire kindles.
