What does the Bible say about the mouth of babes?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that out of the mouth of babes, God has ordained strength to silence His enemies.

Psalm 8:2 reveals that God ordains strength out of the mouth of babes and sucklings, indicating that those who are considered weak and dependent, like infants, are chosen by God to proclaim His power. This divine choice underscores the reality that God’s wisdom often confounds human wisdom, demonstrating His strength through perceived weakness. In the Gospel, Christ emphasizes that the humble and lowly will receive revelation, while the wise and prudent will be left in darkness (Matthew 11:25). Thus, God uses the 'mouth of babes' to demonstrate His character and purpose, expressing that true strength arises not from human might but from reliance on Him.
