5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people are one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city.
9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confuse the language of all the earth: and from there did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
