The
Lord confounds the languages of all the Earth.
Genesis 11:5-9
And the Lord
came down to see the city and the tower, which the children
of men builded. And the Lord said, Behold, the people
is one, and they have all one language; and this they
begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them,
which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down,
and there confound their language, that they may not understnad
one another's speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad
from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left
off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called
Babel; because the Lord there did confound the language of
all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad
upon the face of all the earth. (KJV)
