It is a restless evil, k full of deadly poison. 2 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. The tongue is set among our members, j staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, 1 and set on fire by hell. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! 6 And i the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. 5 So also the tongue is a small member, yet h it boasts of great things. 4 Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.

3 If we put g bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, e he is a perfect man, f able also to bridle his whole body. 3 c Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.
