That is in the book of James:

Jas 3:5 So it is with the tongue: small as it is, it can boast about great things. Just think how large a forest can be set on fire by a tiny flame!

Jas 3:6 And the tongue is like a fire. It is a world of wrong, occupying its place in our bodies and spreading evil through our whole being. It sets on fire the entire course of our existence with the fire that comes to it from hell itself.

Jas 3:7 We humans are able to tame and have tamed all other creatures---wild animals and birds, reptiles and fish.

Jas 3:8 But no one has ever been able to tame the tongue. It is evil and uncontrollable, full of deadly poison.

Also see 1 Peter 3:10 ...Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech.

How do you read a scripture quote?

When quoting scripture, you say "In John 3:16 it says that 'For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life'." or you can say "In John Chapter 3, Verse 16 it says that 'For God so loved the world...'"
