James 3:5
NIV:  Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.
NAS:  So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!
KJV:  Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
GWT:  In the same way the tongue is a small part of the body, but it can brag about doing important things. A large forest can be set on fire by a little flame.
ASV:  So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!
BBE:  Even so the tongue is a small part of the body, but it takes credit for great things. How much wood may be lighted by a very little fire!
DBY:  Thus also the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. See how little a fire, how large a wood it kindles!
DRB:  Even so the tongue is indeed a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold how small a fire kindleth a great wood.
WBS:  Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
WEB:  So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!
YLT:  so also the tongue is a little member, and doth boast greatly; lo, a little fire how much wood it doth kindle!
