1 Corinthians 14:21. In the law (the Old Testament Scriptures) it is written, By men of strange tongues, and by the lips of strangers (Gr. ‘of others') will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord (Isaiah 28:11-12).

And since this use of an “unknown tongue” was sent in judgment, see (says the apostle) that ye avoid using a tongue which none understand.
