Can a mantakefirein his bosomAnd his clothesnot be burned?
For on accountof a harlot[one is reduced] to a loafof bread,And an adulteresshuntsfor the preciouslife.
Orcan a manwalkon hot coalsAnd his feetnot be scorched?
Soalsothe tongueis a smallpartof the body, and [yet] it boastsof great things.Seehowgreata forestis set aflameby such a smallfire!
