“Look!” he said. “The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them! Come, let’s go down and confuse the people with different languages. Then they won’t be able to understand each other.”

Then they said, “Come, let’s build a great city for ourselves with a tower that reaches into the sky. This will make us famous and keep us from being scattered all over the world.”

That is why the city was called Babel, because that is where the LORD confused the people with different languages. In this way he scattered them all over the world.

At one time all the people of the world spoke the same language and used the same words.

But the LORD came down to look at the city and the tower the people were building.

In that way, the LORD scattered them all over the world, and they stopped building the city.
