Ya'akov (Jas) 3:5-6, 8-9

Ya'akov (Jas) 3:5-6 CJB

So too the tongue is a tiny part of the body, yet it boasts great things. See how a little fire sets a whole forest ablaze! Yes, the tongue is a fire, a world of wickedness. The tongue is so placed in our body that it defiles every part of it, setting ablaze the whole of our life; and it is set on fire by Gei-Hinnom itself.

Ya'akov (Jas) 3:8-9 CJB

but the tongue no one can tame — it is an unstable and evil thing, full of death-dealing poison! With it we bless ADONAI, the Father; and with it we curse people, who were made in the image of God.
