Hinei, an eish ketanah (small fire) and yet how great a forest it can set ablaze!3:5 Ps 12:3,4; 73:8,9 6 And the lashon is an Eish, the lashon is made an Olam HaAvel (World of Iniquity) among our evarim (members), defiling with a stain kol haGuf (whole body), and setting ablaze the course of life, and is itself set by eish in Gehinnom.3:6 Prov 16:27 7 For every species both of wild animals and birds, reptiles and marine creatures is tamed and has been tamed by humankind. 8 But the Lashon no one of Bnei Adam is able to tame, an uncontrollable ra’ah (evil), full of deadly zuhamah (contamination).
