2 For we all make many a slip. If anyone never slips in speech, he is a man of maturity; he can control his whole body too.
3 If we put bridles into horses' mouths to make them obey us, we can guide their whole bodies, too.
4 Look at ships, too; though great and driven by violent winds, they are steered with a tiny rudder wherever the pilot pleases.
5 So the tongue, too, is a little organ but can boast of great achievements. See how a spark, ever so tiny, can set a vast forest on fire!
6 And the tongue is a fire, and takes its place among the parts of our bodies as a world of evil; it soils the whole body and sets on fire the circle of man's nature, and itself is set on fire by hell.
7 For every kind of beasts and birds, of reptiles and sea animals, can be, or have been, tamed by man;
8 but the tongue no human being can tame. It is an evil incapable of being quieted, full of deadly poison.
