James 3:6
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.

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
The tongue also is a fire, a world of wickedness among the parts of the body. It pollutes the whole person, sets the course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
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.

In context
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.
8 lakini hakuna mwanadamu hata mmoja ambaye anaweza kudhibiti ulimi; ni uovu usiotulia, umejaa sumu ya kufisha.
9 Kwa ulimi twamtukuza Bwana na Baba yetu, na kwa huo twawalaani watu ambao wameumbwa kwa mfano wa Mungu.
