Then God said,“ Let Us make mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the livestock and over all the earth, and over every crawling thing that crawls on the earth.”

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with different tongues, as the Spirit was giving them the ability to speak out.Now there were Jews residing in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven.And when this sound occurred, the crowd came together and they were bewildered, because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own language.They were amazed and astonished, saying,“ Why, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?And how is it that we each hear them in our own language to which we were born?Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya around Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,Cretans and Arabs— we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty deeds of God.”

Therefore if the whole church gathers together and all the people speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are insane?

The Lord nullifies the plan of nations; He frustrates the plans of peoples.

For the one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people, but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.But the one who prophesies speaks to people for edification, exhortation, and consolation.The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but the one who prophesies edifies the church.Now I wish that you all spoke in tongues, but rather that you would prophesy; and greater is the one who prophesies than the one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may receive edification.But now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophecy, or of teaching?Yet even lifeless instruments, whether flute or harp, in producing a sound, if they do not produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the harp?For if the trumpet produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle?So you too, unless you produce intelligible speech by the tongue, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will just be talking to the air.There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and none is incapable of meaning.So if I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be unintelligible to the one who speaks, and the one who speaks will be unintelligible to me.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying,“ Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said,“ Here am I. Send me!”

He deprives the trusted ones of speech, And takes away the discernment of the elders.

Behold, I am bringing a nation against you from far away, you house of Israel,” declares the Lord.“ It is an enduring nation, It is an ancient nation, A nation whose language you do not know, Nor can you understand what they say.

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

Now the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the men had built.

He frustrates the schemes of the shrewd, So that their hands cannot attain success.He captures the wise by their own cleverness, And the advice of the cunning is quickly thwarted.

He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them.

“ The Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the end of the earth, as the eagle swoops down; a nation whose language you will not understand,

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

Then the Lord God said,“ Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might reach out with his hand, and take fruit also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”—

Confuse them, Lord, divide their tongues, For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their descendants, by their nations; and out of these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.
