- જીભ તો અગ્નિ છે; જગતના અન્યાયથી ભરેલી છે; આપણા અંગોમાં જીભ એવી છે કે, તે આખા શરીરને અશુદ્ધ કરે છે, તે સંપૂર્ણ જીવનને સળગાવે છે અને પોતે નર્કથી સળગાવવામાં આવેલી છે.
- हिन्दी — याकूब ३:६
- जीभ भी एक आग है; जीभ हमारे अंगों में अधर्म का एक लोक है और सारी देह पर कलंक लगाती है, और भवचक्र में आग लगा देती है और नरक कुण्ड की आग से जलती रहती है।

5So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!
6And 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.
7For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and sea creature is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind;
8but nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
