3 Behold we put bits into the horses mouths, that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body.

4 Behold also the ships, tho' they are so great, and driven by fierce winds, yet are turned about by a very small helm, whithersoever the pilot listeth.

5 So the tongue also is a little member, yet boasteth great things. Behold how much matter a little fire kindleth.

6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: it is the tongue among the members which defileth the whole body and setteth on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire of hell.
