Genesis 11:6-8
The Voice
Eternal One: 6 Will you look at that! The people are all together on this. With one language they are able to start this kind of project. This is only the beginning of what they will do. Soon they will think they can accomplish anything and everything on their own. 7 Let’s go down and break this up! If We confuse their language, they won’t be able to understand each other’s words.
8 This is how the Eternal scattered people from Shinar all across the surface of the earth. Since they were unable to communicate, they stopped working on the city and went their separate ways.

Genesis 11:6-8
New International Version
6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language(A) they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us(B) go down(C) and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”(D)
8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth,(E) and they stopped building the city.
