James 3:3-8

[3] we put  bits  in  the horses'  mouths,  they  may obey  and  we turn about  their  whole  body.  [4] Behold  also  the ships,  so great,  and  are driven  of  fierce  winds,  yet are they turned about  with  a very small  helm,  whithersoever  the governor  listeth.  [5] Even  so  the tongue  a little  member,  and  boasteth great things.  Behold,  how great  a matter  fire  kindleth!  [6] And  the tongue  is a fire,  a world  of iniquity:  is  the tongue  among  members,  that it defileth  the whole  body,  and  setteth on fire  the course  of nature;  and  it is set on fire  of  hell.  [7] For  every  kind  of beasts,  and  of birds,  and  of serpents,  and  of things in the sea,  is tamed,  and  hath been tamed  of mankind:  [8] But  the tongue  can  no  man  tame;  evil,  full  of deadly  poison.
