4 Then they said, Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top may reach to heaven; and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which men were building. 6 And the LORD said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and they have reasoned to do this thing; and now nothing will prevent them from doing that which they have imagined to do. 7 Come, let us go down, and there divide their language so 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 from building the city.
