7 Come, let Us go down there and confuse[a] their language[b] so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”[c] 8 So from there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth,(A) and they stopped building the city. 9 Therefore its name is called Babylon,[d](B) for there the Lord confused the language of the whole earth, and from there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
