4. They said, “Now let's build a city with a tower that reaches the sky, so that we can make a name for ourselves and not be scattered all over the earth.”
5. Then the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which those men had built,
6. and he said, “Now then, these are all one people and they speak one language; this is just the beginning of what they are going to do. Soon they will be able to do anything they want!
7. Let us go down and mix up their language so that they will not understand one another.”
8. So the Lord scattered them all over the earth, and they stopped building the city.
