Genesis 11:6-9 And the LORD said, "Behold, the people are one, and they all have one language; and this is what they begin to do: And now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

TKJU⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ And the LORD said, "Behold, the people are one, and they all have one language; and this is what 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 in that place confound 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 ceased to build the city. ⁹ Therefore the name of it is called Babel; because the LORD confounded the language of all the earth there: And from that place the LORD scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
