Genesis 11:5-7

51The Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.

6The Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have 23the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be 4impossible for them.

7Come, 5let Us go down and there 6confuse their 7language, so that they will not understand one another’s 8speech.”
