1 Corinthians 14:7-9

Tree of Life Version

⁷ It is the same for lifeless things that make a sound—like a flute or a harp. If they make no distinction in the tones, how will what is played be recognized? ⁸ For if the trumpet^[a] makes an unclear sound, who will prepare himself for battle? ⁹ So also with you with your tongue—unless you utter speech that is intelligible, how will what is spoken be understood? For you will be talking to the wind!
