11 Bible Verses about Useless Words

To reason with a word not useful? And speeches -- no profit in them?

These things remind them of, testifying fully before the Lord -- not to strive about words to nothing profitable, but to the subversion of those hearing;

'And I say to you, that every idle word that men may speak, they shall give for it a reckoning in a day of judgment;

and foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about law, stand away from -- for they are unprofitable and vain.

from which certain, having swerved, did turn aside to vain discourse,

for overswellings of vanity speaking, they do entice in desires of the flesh -- lasciviousnesses, those who had truly escaped from those conducting themselves in error,

And Job with vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth.

And how do ye comfort me with vanity, And in your answers hath been left trespass?

for a disannulling indeed doth come of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness,

for it is not a vain thing for you, for it is your life, and by this thing ye prolong days on the ground whither ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it.'
