James 3:3-6 NIV

Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts.

It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
