Isn't there something in the Bible about people who talk too much or act like know it alls? If so, what?

Answer 1

Jesus said this:

"But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
Matthew 12:26-37

The Bible has a great deal to say about the tongue - how and what we speak.

Answer 2

Sounds like my mother-in-law. Knows everything about everything and can't help but butt into any conversation.....Actually there are a couple scriptures:

1 Peter 4:15 - 15 However, let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a busybody in other people’s matters.

[Notice how butting in to other people's business ranks as high as being a murderer or theif.]

1 Timothy 5:13 - ...they also learn to be unoccupied, gadding about to the houses; yes, not only unoccupied, but also gossipers and meddlers in other people’s affairs, talking of things they ought not.

And the mention of conceit in Philippians 2:3; ‘ ... do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves... ‘
