← Genesis 11:6	Genesis 11:7 (KJV)	Genesis 11:8 →
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.	Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.	So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
