야고보서 3장 6절

그런데 혀는 불이요, 혀는 불의의 세계입니다. 혀는 우리 몸의 한 지체이지만, 온 몸을 더럽히며, 인생의 수레바퀴에 불을 지르고, 결국에는 혀도 게헨나의 불에 타버립니다. _새번역성경 

舌は 火である。不義の 世界である． 舌は、わたしたちの 器官の 一つとしてそなえられたものであるが、全身を 汚し、生存の 車輪を 燃やし、自らは 地獄の 火で 焼かれる。 _ 口語訳 

And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell. _NASB 

A careless or wrongly placed word out of your mouth can do that. By our speech we can ruin the world, turn harmony to chaos, throw mud on a reputation, send the whole world up in smoke and go up in smoke with it, smoke right from the pit of hell._The Message
