3 Behold we put bits into the mouths of horses for them to obey us, and we guide about their whole body.4 Behold also the ships, being so great and driven by fierce winds, are guided about by a very small rudder, wherever the impulse of the man who steers determines.5 So also the tongue is a little body-part, and boasts greatly. Behold a little fire, how much wood it kindles.6 And the tongue is a fire, the world of unrighteousness. Thus, the tongue is made to lead among our body-parts, defiling the whole body, and setting the cycle of nature on fire, and being set on fire by hell.
