Genesis 11:7-9
New American Standard Bible 1995
7 Come, (A)let Us go down and there (B)confuse their [a]language, so that they will not understand one another’s [b]speech.” 8 So the Lord (C)scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city. 9 Therefore its name was called [c](D)Babel, because there the Lord confused the [d]language of the whole earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.
