Καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα πῦρ, ὁ κόσμος τῆς ἀδικίας· οὕτως ἡ γλῶσσα καθίσταται ἐν τοῖς μέλεσιν ἡμῶν, ἡ σπιλοῦσα ὅλον τὸ σῶμα, καὶ φλογίζουσα τὸν τροχὸν τῆς γενέσεως, καὶ φλογιζομένη ὑπὸ τῆς γεέννης.
RBT Translation:
The Wheel of Genesis on Fire
Also the Tongue is a fire, the Order of the Unjust One; the Tongue is set down in place within the Limbs of ourselves, she who is staining the whole Body, and she who is setting on fire the Wheel of Genesis, and she who is being set on fire underneath the Valley of Hell ("Gehenna").
Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
(And the tongue a fire, a world of iniquity: so the tongue is placed in our members, defiling the whole body, and burning the wheel of creation; and burned by hell.
LITV Translation:
And the tongue is a fire, the world of iniquity. So the tongue is set among our members, spotting all the body, and inflaming the course of nature, and having been inflamed by Hell.
