Genesis 11:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ And they said: Come, let us make a city and a tower, the top whereof may reach to heaven: and let us make our name famous before we be scattered abroad into all lands.

⁵ And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of Adam were building.

⁶ And he said: Behold, it is one people, and all have one tongue: and they have begun to do this, neither will they leave off from their designs, till they accomplish them in deed.
