Genesis 11:5-8
New International Version
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)
8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth,(F) and they stopped building the city.
Genesis 11:5-8
King James Version
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
