10 Bible Verses about Babbling

When you pray, don’t babble like the idolaters, since they imagine they’ll be heard for their many words. Don’t be like them, because your Father knows the things you need before you ask Him.

The wise store up knowledge,
but the mouth of the fool hastens destruction.

The wise store up knowledge,
but the mouth of the fool hastens destruction. A rich man’s wealth is his fortified city;
the poverty of the poor is their destruction. The labor of the righteous leads to life;

The one who follows instruction is on the path to life,
but the one who rejects correction goes astray. The one who conceals hatred has lying lips,
and whoever spreads slander is a fool. When there are many words, sin is unavoidable,
but the one who controls his lips is wise. The tongue of the righteous is pure silver;
the heart of the wicked is of little value. The lips of the righteous feed many,
but fools die for lack of sense. The Lord’s blessing enriches,
and struggle adds nothing to it. As shameful conduct is pleasure for a fool,
so wisdom is for a man of understanding. What the wicked dreads will come to him,
but what the righteous desire will be given to them.

When the day of Pentecost had arrived, they were all together in one place.

And they were astounded and amazed, saying, “Look, aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? How is it that each of us can hear in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites; those who live in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking the magnificent acts of God in our own languages.”

So whenever you give to the poor, don’t sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be applauded by people. I assure you: They’ve got their reward!

When the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had welcomed God’s message, they sent Peter and John to them. After they went down there, they prayed for them, so the Samaritans might receive the Holy Spirit. For He had not yet come down on any of them; they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. read more.
Then Peter and John laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

Who has woe? Who has sorrow?
Who has conflicts? Who has complaints?
Who has wounds for no reason?
Who has red eyes?

those who go looking for mixed wine.

And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; they will pick up snakes; if they should drink anything deadly, it will never harm them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will get well.” Then after speaking to them, the Lord Jesus was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. read more.

And it will be in the last days, says God,
that I will pour out My Spirit on all humanity;
then your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams.

on My male and female slaves in those days,
and they will prophesy.
I will display wonders in the heaven above
and signs on the earth below:
blood and fire and a cloud of smoke.

The sun will be turned to darkness

Then everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved.
