7 Come on, [a]let us go down, and [b]there confound their language, that everyone perceive not another’s speech.
8 So the Lord scattered them from thence upon all the earth, and they left off to build the city.
9 Therefore the name of it was called [c]Babel, because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: from thence then did the Lord scatter them upon all the earth.
