King James Version

Genesis 11:7-9

7Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.

8So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

9Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.1
