James 3:5-6

5So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it 1boasts of great things.

2See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire! 6And 3the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which 4defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our 5life, and is set on fire by 67hell.
