5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of Adam had built.
6 And the LORD said, Behold! The people [is] one and they all have one language. And this they begin to do. And now nothing which they have imagined to do will be restrained from them.
7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they cannot understand one another's speech.
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from that place upon the face of all the earth. And they quit building the city.
9 Therefore the name of it is called Babel; because the LORD confused the language of all the earth there. And from there the LORD scattered them abroad on the face of all the earth.
