51The LordH3068 cameH3381 downH3381 to seeH7200 the cityH5892 and the towerH4026 whichH834 the sonsH1121 of menH120 had builtH1129.

6The LordH3068 saidH559, “BeholdH2005, they are oneH259 peopleH5971, and they allH3605 have 23the sameH259 languageH8193. And thisH2088 is what they beganH2490 to doH6213, and nowH6258 nothingH3808H3605 whichH834 they purposeH2161 to doH6213 will be 4impossibleH1219 for them.
