6 And so the tongue is like a fire, comprising all iniquity. The tongue, stationed in the midst of our body, can defile the entire body and inflame the wheel of our nativity, setting a fire from Hell.

7 For the nature of all beasts and birds and serpents and others is ruled over, and has been ruled over, by human nature.

8 But no man is able to rule over the tongue, a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
