4. And they said, Come, let us build us a city and a tower whose top reaches into the sky, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered over the whole earth.
5. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.
6. And the Lord said, Behold, they are one people and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do, and now nothing they have imagined they can do will be impossible for them.
7. Come, let Us go down and there confound (mix up, confuse) their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8. So the Lord scattered them abroad from that place upon the face of the whole earth, and they gave up building the city.
