Genesis 11:4-6

Christian Standard Bible

⁴ And they said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky.^(A) Let’s make a name for ourselves; otherwise, we will be scattered throughout the earth.”

⁵ Then the Lord came down^(B) to look over the city and the tower that the humans^[a] were building. ⁶ The Lord said, “If they have begun to do this as one people all having the same language, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
