Genesis 11:7-9
English Standard Version
7 Come, (A)let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech.” 8 So (B)the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. 9 Therefore its name was called (C)Babel, because there the Lord confused[a] the language of all the earth. And from there the Lord dispersed them over the face of all the earth.
