Genesis 11:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁶ And the Lord said, ‘Look, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. ⁷ Come, let us go down, and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.’ ⁸ So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
