5 So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things.
See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire, the very world of unrighteousness; the tongue is set among 3:6 Lit our partsour body’s parts as that which defiles the whole body and sets on fire the course of our3:6 Or existence, originlife, and is set on fire by 3:6 Gr Gehennahell.
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
5 So also the tongue is a small member, yet [Ps. 12:3,4;73:8,9]it boasts of great things.
How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! 6 And Ps. 120:2-4;Prov. 16:27the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, Matt. 15:18staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life,3:6 Or wheel of birth and set on fire by hell.3:6 Greek Gehenna
5 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. 6 And among all the parts of the body, 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.3:6 Or for it will burn in hell (Greek Gehenna).
5 Even so Prov. 12:18; 15:2; James 1:26the tongue is a little member and Ps. 12:3; 73:8boasts great things.
See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6 And Ps. 120:2, 3; Prov. 16:27the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it (Matt. 12:36; 15:11, 18)defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.
5 So too, though the tongue is a small part of the body, it boasts great things. 3:5 Ps 12:3–4; 73:8–9 Consider how a small fire sets ablaze a large forest. 6 And the tongue is a fire. The tongue, a world of unrighteousness, is placed 3:6 Or places itself, or appoints itself among our members. It stains the whole body, 3:6 Ps 120:2–3; Pr 16:27; Mt 15:11,18 sets the course of life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
5 Even so the tongue is indeed a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold how small a fire kindleth a great wood. 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is placed among our members, which defileth the whole body, and inflameth the wheel of our nativity, being set on fire by hell.
3-5 A bit in the mouth of a horse controls the whole horse. A small rudder on a huge ship in the hands of a skilled captain sets a course in the face of the strongest winds. A word out of your mouth may seem of no account, but it can accomplish nearly anything—or destroy it!
5,6 It only takes a spark, remember, to set off a forest fire. A careless or wrongly placed word out of your mouth can do that. By our speech we can ruin the world, turn harmony to chaos, throw mud on a reputation, send the whole world up in smoke and go up in smoke with it, smoke right from the pit of hell.
