Genesis 11:6-9
New King James Version
6 And the Lord said, “Indeed (A)the people are one and they all have (B)one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they (C)propose to do will be withheld from them. 7 Come, (D)let Us go down and there (E)confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” 8 So (F)the Lord scattered them abroad from there (G)over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. 9 Therefore its name is called [a]Babel, (H)because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.
