With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father,
and with it we curse men, who have been made in
God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise
and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.

Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body,
but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great
forest is set on fire by a small spark. The
tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the
parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person,
sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is
itself set on fire by hell. James 35-6(NIV)
