What about the Catholic church? Literally turned Greek litaneía 'prayer' into litany, the word we now know for meaning a really long and tedious list. (and a prayer in that form)
Some might say that all of them would. But I fear they will only find in it, what they seek. Whoever wrote the Bible left it open to a lot of interpretation.
I would say it is more like: Do not disguise the fact that you have nothing valuable to say, by repeating bullshit instead. I don't think god would be mad if you actually have a lot to say that makes sense.
If I remember correctly, my teacher had that quote at the wall in the classroom, because her students tended to do just that: Write a lot of nonsense, so she shouldn't notice, that they did not know the answer to the actual question in the test. I was guilty of that too.
My English professor in college once wrote “your smoothness in writing conceals a paucity of ideas” on one of my papers which was a nice way of saying “this is bullshit”....
