Genesis 11:5-7
5Now 1the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the 2men had built.
6And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have 34the same language. And this is what they have started to do, and now nothing which they plan to do will be 5impossible for them.
7Come, 67let Us go down and there 8confuse their 9language, so that they will not understand one another’s 10speech.”
