3. Behold, we put the bits in the mouths of the horses, that they may obey us, and we turn round their whole bodies.
4. Behold also the ships, which are so great, and driven by violent winds, are turned about by a very small rudder, wherever the pleasure of the helmsman will.
5. Thus also the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. See how little a fire, how large a wood it kindles!
6. and the tongue is fire, the world of unrighteousness; the tongue is set in our members, the defiler of the whole body, and which sets fire to the course of nature, and is set on fire of hell.
