Tiago 3:3-8 - Bíblia Online

We put a piece of iron in the mouths of horses so they will obey us. Then we can make their whole bodies go where we want them to go. 
Look at the big boats also. They are very big. The strong winds push them along. But a man uses a small piece of wood and makes the boat go where he wants it to go. 
A persons tongue is like that. It is a small part of the body but it talks about big things. A very small fire can burn a big pile of wood! 
The tongue is like a fire. It is like a whole world of trouble. It is a part of our body. And it makes our whole body bad. It burns up our whole life. And the fire that makes the tongue burn comes from hell. 
People have been able to tame all kinds of animals, birds, snakes, and fish. 
But no one can tame the tongue. It is a bad thing that will not be ruled. It is full of poison that can kill.
