James 3:3-5

Young's Literal Translation

³ lo, the bits we put into the mouths of the horses for their obeying us, and their whole body we turn about;

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!
