James 3:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ Our tongues are small too, and yet they brag about big things.

It takes only a spark to start a forest fire! ^6 (A) The tongue is like a spark. It is an evil power that dirties the rest of the body and sets a person's entire life on fire with flames that come from hell itself. ⁷ All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and sea creatures can be tamed and have been tamed.
