James 3:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ Behold also ships, whereas they are great, and are driven by strong winds, yet are they turned about with a small helm, whithersoever the force of the governor willeth.

⁵ Even so the tongue is indeed a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold how small a fire kindleth a great wood.

⁶ And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is placed among our members, which defileth the whole body, and inflameth the wheel of our nativity, being set on fire by hell.
