27 Can a man carry (A)fire next to his (B)chest
    and his clothes not be burned?

(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.
On the day of (B)our king, the princes
    became sick with the heat of wine;
    he stretched out his hand with mockers.
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.
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.

“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.

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!
