James 3:5
In the same way, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it boasts of great things. Consider how small a spark sets a great forest ablaze.
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!
So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!
