Genesis 11:7

7 Come, let us go down, and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand one another's speech."

Genesis 11:7 In-Context

5 The Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which mortals had built.
6 And the Lord said, "Look, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.
7 Come, let us go down, and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand one another's speech."
8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
9 Therefore it was called Babel, 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.
