Genesis 11:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 The Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the people had built. 6 Then the Lord said: If now, while they are one people and all have the same language, they have started to do this, nothing they presume to do will be out of their reach. 7 Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that no one will understand the speech of another.

5 But the Lord came down(A) to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language(B) they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us(C) go down(D) and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”(E)
