Job 15:13
New King James Version
13 That you turn your spirit against God,
And let such words go out of your mouth?
James 3:2-6
New King James Version
2 For (A)we all stumble in many things. (B)If anyone does not stumble in word, (C)he is a [a]perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. 3 [b]Indeed, (D)we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. 4 Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. 5 Even so (E)the tongue is a little member and (F)boasts great things.
See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6 And (G)the tongue is a fire, a world of [c]iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it (H)defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of [d]nature; and it is set on fire by [e]hell.

And made his waist heavy with fat,

New King James Version
