James 3:5-8

Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

雅各書3:5-8

舌頭在百體裏也是最小的，卻能說大話。看哪，最小的火，能點着最大的樹林。舌頭就是火，在我們百體中，舌頭是個罪惡的世界，能污穢全身，也能把生命的輪子點起來，並且是從地獄裏點着的。各類的走獸，飛禽，昆蟲，水族，本來都可以制伏，也已經被人制伏了；唯獨舌頭沒有人能制伏，是不止息的惡物，滿了害死人的毒氣。
