James 3:6-8

6 And ^athe tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, ^bstaining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, ^{▼▼Or wheel of birth} and set on fire by hell. ^{▼▼Greek Gehenna} 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, ^efull of deadly poison.

2 Peter 2:18

18 For, ^fspeaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely ^gescaping from those who live in error.
