TSK · James 3:8

His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.

Their poison is like the poison of a snake; like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,

who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer's tongue.

And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna.
