Genesis 11:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ But the Lord came down and saw the city and the tower that these men were building. ⁶ The Lord said, “Behold, they are a single people and they have only one language. This is only the beginning of what they will do. Now nothing that they think up will be impossible for them. ⁷ Let us go down and confuse their language so that they will not understand each other when they speak.”
