Genesis 11:7-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁷ Come, let Us go down and there confound (mix up, confuse) their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.

⁸ So the Lord scattered them abroad from that place upon the face of the whole earth, and they gave up building the city.

⁹ Therefore the name of it was called Babel—because there the Lord confounded the language of all the earth; and from that place the Lord scattered them abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
