4 And they sayd: Go to, let vs buylde vs a citie and a towre, whose toppe may reache vnto heauen, and let vs make vs a name, lest peraduenture we be scattered abrode into the vpper face of the whole earth. 5 But the Lorde came downe to see the citie and towre whiche the chyldren of men buylded. 6 And the Lorde sayd: Beholde, the people is one, and they haue all one language, and this they begin to do: neither is there any let to them from all those thinges whiche they haue imagined to do. 7 Come on, let vs go downe, and there confounde their language, that euerye one perceaue not his neighbours speache. 8 And so the Lorde scattered them from that place into the vpper face of all the earth, and they left of to buylde that citie.
