Tambua pia kwamba meli, ingawa ni kubwa na husukumwa na upepo mkali, zinaongozwa kwa usukani mdogo sana kwenda popote anakotaka nahodha.

Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
Consider ships as well. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot is inclined.
Behold, the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.

In context
1 Ndugu zangu, siyo wengi wenu mnapaswa kuwa walimu, mkijua kwamba tutapokea hukumu kubwa zaidi.
2 Kwa kuwa wote tunakosea katika njia nyingi. Kama yeyote huwa hajikwai katika maneno yake, huyo ni mtu mkamilifu, aweza kudhibiti mwili wake wote pia.
3 Sasa kama tunaweka lijamu za farasi katika vinywa vyao wanatutii, na tunaweza kuigeuza miili yao yote.
4 Tambua pia kwamba meli, ingawa ni kubwa na husukumwa na upepo mkali, zinaongozwa kwa usukani mdogo sana kwenda popote anakotaka nahodha.
5 Vivyo hivyo, ulimi ni kiungo kidogo cha mwili, lakini hujisifia makuu sana. Angalia msitu mkubwa unavyoweza kuwashwa kwa cheche ndogo ya moto!
6 Ulimi pia ni moto, ni ulimwengu wa uovu, umewekwa miongoni mwa viungo vya mwili wetu, ambao hunajisi mwili wote na huiweka juu ya moto njia ya maisha, na wenyewe kuchomwa moto wa kuzimu.
7 Kila aina ya mnyama wa polini, ndege, kitambaacho na kiumbe cha baharini kinadhibitiwa na wanadamu.
