Proverbs 6:27
English Standard Version
Hosea 7:4-7
English Standard Version
4 (A)They are all adulterers;
they are like a heated oven
whose baker ceases to stir the fire,
from the kneading of the dough
until it is leavened.
5 On the day of (B)our king, the princes
became sick with the heat of wine;
he stretched out his hand with mockers.
6 For with hearts like an oven (C)they approach their intrigue;
all night their anger smolders;
in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
7 All of them are hot as an oven,
and they devour their rulers.
All (D)their kings (E)have fallen,
and none of them calls upon me.
Job 31:9-12
English Standard Version
9 “If my heart has been enticed toward a woman,
and I have (A)lain in wait at my neighbor's door,
10 then let my wife (B)grind for another,
and let others (C)bow down on her.
11 For that would be a heinous crime;
that would be an iniquity (D)to be punished by the judges;
12 for that would be a fire (E)that consumes as far as Abaddon,
and it would burn to the root all my increase.
James 3:5
English Standard Version
5 So also the tongue is a small member, yet (A)it boasts of great things.
How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire!
