1 CORINTHIANS 14:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.”
In the Law it is written: 'Through men of strange tongues and through the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to me,' says the Lord — Paul cites Isaiah 28:11-12. In Isaiah, foreign languages are God's judgment: incomprehensible speech marks alienation. Paul applies this: uninterpreted tongues in worship may paradoxically signal judgment rather than blessing.
