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

Even so the tongue is a small part of the body, but it takes credit for great things. How much wood may be lighted by a very little fire!

Ουτω και η γλωσσα ειναι μικρον μελος, ομως μεγαλαυχει. Ιδου, ολιγον πυρ ποσον μεγαλην υλην αναπτει·

Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
