James 3:3-5

21st Century King James Version

³ Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body.

⁴ Behold also the ships, which though they be so great and are driven by fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the helmsman pleases.

⁵ Even so the tongue is a little member and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a wood a little fire kindleth!
