5so also the tongue is a little member, and doth boast greatly; lo, a little fire how much wood it doth kindle!
6and the tongue [is] a fire, the world of the unrighteousness, so the tongue is set in our members, which is spotting our whole body, and is setting on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by the gehenna.
7For every nature, both of beasts and of fowls, both of creeping things and things of the sea, is subdued, and hath been subdued, by the human nature,
8and the tongue no one of men is able to subdue, [it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison,
9with it we do bless the God and Father, and with it we do curse the men made according to the similitude of God;
10out of the same mouth doth come forth blessing and cursing; it doth not need, my brethren, these things so to happen;
11doth the fountain out of the same opening pour forth the sweet and the bitter?
