Genesis 11:5-8

New International Version

⁵ But the Lord came down^(A) to see the city and the tower the people were building. ⁶ The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language^(B) they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. ⁷ Come, let us^(C) go down^(D) and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”^(E)

⁸ So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth,^(F) and they stopped building the city.
