Translations

(Etheridge) And when thou art praying, be not wordy, like the profane; for they think that in much speaking they are heard.

(Murdock) And when ye pray, be not garrulous like the heathen; for they expect to be heard for their abundance of words.

(Lamsa) And when you pray, do not repeat your words like the pagans, for they think that because of much talking they will be heard.

(KJV) But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
