James 3:5

5Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.

5So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things.

See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!

5In the same sense, the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things.

See [by comparison] how great a forest is set on fire by a small spark!

5In the same way, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it boasts of great things. Consider how small a spark sets a great forest ablaze.

5So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!

5Euen so the tongue is a litle member, and boasteth of great things: beholde, howe great a thing a litle fire kindleth.

5So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!

5In the same way, the tongue is a small part of a person’s body. But it talks big. Think about how a small spark can set a big forest on fire.

5In the same way, our tongue is a very small part of our body. But it speaks as if it is very great.

Think about this. A very small fire can cause even a big forest to burn completely.

5so also the tongue is a little member, and boasts greatly; behold, how much forest a little fire kindles!
