Genesis 11:6 ASV

⁴  And they said, Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top 'may reach' unto heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

⁵  And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

⁶  And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do: and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.

⁷  Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

⁸  So Jehovah scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city.
