All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak in other languages as the Spirit enabled them.Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven residing in Jerusalem.When this sound occurred, a crowd gathered and was in confusion, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.Completely baffled, they said,“ Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans?And how is it that each one of us hears them in our own native language?Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and the province of Asia,Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene, and visitors from Rome,both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs– we hear them speaking in our own languages about the great deeds God has done!”

For the one speaking in a tongue does not speak to people but to God, for no one understands; he is speaking mysteries by the Spirit.But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouragement, and consolation.The one who speaks in a tongue builds himself up, but the one who prophesies builds up the church.I wish you all spoke in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets so that the church may be strengthened.Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I help you unless I speak to you with a revelation or with knowledge or prophecy or teaching?It is similar for lifeless things that make a sound, like a flute or harp. Unless they make a distinction in the notes, how can what is played on the flute or harp be understood?If, for example, the trumpet makes an unclear sound, who will get ready for battle?It is the same for you. If you do not speak clearly with your tongue, how will anyone know what is being said? For you will be speaking into the air.There are probably many kinds of languages in the world, and none is without meaning.If then I do not know the meaning of a language, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me.

It will be a nation whose language you will not know. Its people will speak words that you will not be able to understand.

These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, and by their nations.

But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the people had started building.

He frustrates the plans of the crafty so that their hands cannot accomplish what they had planned!He catches the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of the cunning is brought to a quick end.

The one enthroned in heaven laughs in disgust; the Lord taunts them.

The LORD will raise up a distant nation against you, one from the other side of the earth as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you will not understand,

From these the coastlands of the nations were separated into their lands, every one according to its language, according to their families, by their nations.

And the LORD God said,“ Now that the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil, he must not be allowed to stretch out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”
