Though I speak with all the tongues — Which are upon earth, and with the eloquence of an angel. And have not love — The love of God, and of all mankind for his sake, I am no better before God than the sounding instruments of brass, used in the worship of some of the heathen gods. Or a tinkling cymbal — This was made of two pieces of hollow brass, which, being struck together, made a tinkling, but very little variety of sound.
