‘His defence was that he had thought Mr Ferdinand was accusing him of using the
words, and was simply repeating them when he was caught on camera.’

‘industrial language’

3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole
person, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
James 3: 3-6

Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive
themselves, and their religion is worthless.
James 1: 26

7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by human beings, 8 but no one can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of
deadly poison.
James 3: 7-8

13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in
the humility that comes from wisdom. 14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your
hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from
heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
James 3: 13-15

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving,
considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
James 3: 17

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
James 1: 5
