However, the concept of chattering, which can be understood as incessant or trivial talk, can be related to biblical teachings on speech and the use of words. The Bible provides guidance on the importance of controlling one's tongue and the impact of words on both the speaker and the listener.<br><br><b>Biblical Context and Teachings</b><br><br>1. <b>Proverbs on Speech</b>: The Book of Proverbs offers numerous insights into the power of words and the wisdom of measured speech. <a href="/proverbs/10-19.htm">Proverbs 10:19</a> states, "When words are many, sin is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise." This verse highlights the potential for sin in excessive talking, suggesting that chattering can lead to careless or harmful speech.<br><br>2. <b>The Tongue's Power</b>: <a href="/james/3-5.htm">James 3:5-6</a> provides a vivid description of the tongue's influence: "In the same way, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it boasts of great things. Consider how small a spark sets a great forest ablaze. The tongue also is a fire, a world of wickedness among the parts of the body." This passage underscores the destructive potential of uncontrolled speech, akin to chattering without thought or purpose.<br><br>3. <b>Guarding One's Speech</b>: The Bible encourages believers to be mindful of their words. <a href="/psalms/141-3.htm">Psalm 141:3</a> is a prayer for divine assistance in controlling speech: "Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips." This reflects the understanding that chattering can lead to unintended consequences and the need for vigilance in communication.<br><br>4. <b>Edifying Speech</b>: <a href="/ephesians/4-29.htm">Ephesians 4:29</a> instructs believers to use their words for building others up: "Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen." This teaching contrasts with chattering, which often lacks purpose and can be unproductive or even harmful.<br><br>5. <b>Silence and Reflection</b>: <a href="/ecclesiastes/5-2.htm">Ecclesiastes 5:2</a> advises, "Do not be quick to speak, and do not let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God. After all, God is in heaven, and you are on earth. So let your words be few." This wisdom literature emphasizes the value of silence and thoughtful reflection over hasty or excessive speech.<br><br><b>Practical Application</b><br><br>In a biblical context, chattering can be seen as a form of speech that lacks the intentionality and edification encouraged by Scripture. Believers are called to be stewards of their words, using them to glorify God and uplift others. The teachings of the Bible advocate for speech that is thoughtful, purposeful, and aligned with the principles of love and truth. By avoiding chattering, Christians can better reflect the character of Christ in their interactions and communication.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</I>) of Chatter.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/sheldon/in_his_steps/chapter_twenty-eight.htm"><span class="l">Chapter twenty-eight</span></a> <br><b>...</b> swept that.
