This is literally “master of the tongue” (Eccl. 10:1111Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better. (Ecclesiastes 10:11)): the verse may be translated, “If the serpent bite without enchantment, then the ‘charmer’ hath no advantage.” In Acts 17:1818Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection. (Acts 17:18) the word is σπερμολόγος, literally “seed picker;” a word of contempt; one that picks up idle tales, a gossip, chatterer; “base fellow” (margin).
