NASB | 1 Corinthians 14:22 So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy is for a sign, not to unbelievers but to those who believe. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 14:22 Therefore, [unknown] tongues are [meant] for a [supernatural] sign, not to believers but to unbelievers [who might be receptive]; while prophecy [foretelling the future, speaking a new message from God to the people] is not for unbelievers but for believers. |

Bible Note: Greetings JRM! In this case, it is more a question of punctuation than Greek! ;-) But, learning Greek is definitely a worthwhile goal. If the previous view is correct that Paul is correcting their mis-statement, so the OT quote may have been used to illustrate that unbelievers, like Israel, would not listen to tongues.
