James 3:2-8
''Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in
every other way. We can make a large horse go wherever we want
by means of a small bit in its mouth. And a small rudder makes a
huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong. In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness,
corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself. People can tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and fish, but no one can tame the tongue.''
James 3:2-8a (NLT)
