James 3:5
| ← James 3:4 | James 3:5 (KJV) | James 3:6 → |
|---|---|---|
Behold also the ships, which though [they be] so great, and [are] driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
|
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
|
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.
