Ya'akov 3:5-6, 8-9

Ya'akov 3:5-6 TOJB2011

So also the lashon (tongue), an evar katon (small member) speaks of RAVREVAN (boastful things). Hinei, an eish ketanah (small fire) and yet how great a forest it can set ablaze! And the lashon is an Eish, the lashon is made an Olam HaAvel (World of Iniquity) among our evarim (members), defiling with a stain kol haGuf (whole body), and setting ablaze the course of life, and is itself set by eish in Gehinnom.

Ya'akov 3:8-9 TOJB2011

But the Lashon no one of Bnei Adam is able to tame, an uncontrollable ra'ah (evil), full of deadly zuhamah (contamination). With this we say a bracha to HASHEM, Adoneinu and Avoteinu, and with this we put a kelalah (curse) on Bnei Adam, who have been created according to the demut Elohim.
