American Standard Version
James 3:5-9
5So the tongueG1100 alsoG2532 isG1510 a littleG3398 memberG3196, and boasteth greatG3173 thingsG3173. BeholdG2400, how much wood isG1510 kindled by how smallG3398 a fireG4442!
6And the tongueG1100 is a fireG4442: the worldG2889 of iniquityG93 among our membersG3196 is the tongueG1100, which defileth the wholeG3650 bodyG4983, and setteth on fireG4442 the wheel of nature, and is setG2525 on fireG4442 by hellG1067.
7For every kind of beastsG2342 and birdsG4071, of creeping thingsG3956 and thingsG3956 in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind:
8but the tongueG1100 can no manG444 tame; it is a restless evilG2556, it is fullG3324 of deadly poison.
9Therewith blessG2127 we the LordG2962 and FatherG3962; and therewith curseG2672 we menG444, who are made after the likeness of GodG2316:
