5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
The destructive power of the tongue is described in detail starting here and continued in verse 6. It is described as Hell on Fire, from the Valley of Gehenna where the fire never ceases....
Only 11 times in the New Testament is the Hebrew word used ten times by Jesus Himself and once by t he Apostle James.
The TONGUE although small in size can create HUGE, GIGANTIC problems...... James said DON'T be in such a hurry to be a MASTER of OTHERS until you have learned and conquered that thing called a TONGUE becuase of its destructive and powerful force.
