8 And also if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to battle?
9 So likewise you, by the tongue, except ye utter words that have [a]signification, how shall it be understood what is spoken? for ye shall speak in the air.
10 [b]There are so many kinds of voices (as it cometh to pass) in the world, and none of them is dumb.

New International Version
8 Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?(A) 9 So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. 10 Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning.
