SETS ON FIRE THE COURSE OF NATURE; AND IT IS SET ON FIRE BY HELL (James 3:5-6) In our efforts to injure others we may succeed, but we always inflict the deeper injury upon ourselves. This is the "wheel" set in motion at birth. It describes the whole round of human activity. An evil tongue pollutes not only a man's personal life , but it contaminates all his activities as well. It affects "the whole of wickedness in the whole of man for the whole of life." A wicked tongue is set on fire by hell. All evil speech has its source there. It is hellish in its very character. The word used for hell here is "Gehenna, Gk." Apart from this instance, it is used only by the Lord Jesus in the New Testament.
