Genesis 11:4-9
11:4 Then they said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens
so that
we may make a name for ourselves. Otherwise
we will be scattered
across the face of the entire earth.”
11:5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the people had started building.
11:6 And the Lord said, “If as one people all sharing a common language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be beyond them.
11:7 Come, let’s go down and confuse their language so they won’t be able to understand each other.”
11:8 So the Lord scattered them from there across the face of the entire earth, and they stopped building the city.
11:9 That is why its name was called Babel – because there the Lord confused the language of the entire world, and from there the Lord scattered them across the face of the entire earth.
Proverbs 24:27
24:27 Establish your work outside and get your fields ready;
afterward build your house.
