And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell.
For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race.
But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison.
With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God;
from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way.

舌头就是火,在我们百体中,舌头是个罪恶的世界,能污秽全身,也能把生命的轮子点起来,并且是从地狱里点着的。
各类的走兽,飞禽,昆虫,水族,本来都可以制伏,也以经被人制伏了。
惟独舌头没有人能制伏,是不止息的恶物,满了害死人的毒气。
我们用舌头颂赞那为主为父的,又用舌头咒诅那照着神形像被造的人。
颂赞和咒诅从一个口里出来,我的弟兄们,这是不应当的。
