Can a man take fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned?
Can a man scoop fire into his lap and his clothes not get burned?

Can a man hide fire in his bosom, and his garments not burn?
For on account of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.
Or can one walk upon hot coals, And his feet not be scorched?
So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!
