Genesis 11:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of Adam were building.

⁶ And he said: Behold, it is one people, and all have one tongue: and they have begun to do this, neither will they leave off from their designs, till they accomplish them in deed.

⁷ Come ye, therefore, let us go down, and there confound their tongue, that they may not understand one another's speech.
