3 If we put bits into the mouths of horses that they may obey us, we guide their whole bodies.4 Look at the ships also; though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.5 So the tongue is a little member and boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by a small fire!6 And the tongue is a fire. The tongue is an unrighteous world among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the cycle of nature, and set on fire by hell.
