3 Now if we put the horses' bridles into their mouths that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also.

4 Look, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, where the impulse of the helmsman wills.

5 So the tongue also is a little member, and boasts great things. Look, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!

6 And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell.
