After God had destroyed evil from the earth with the flood, the descendants of Noah were divided into nations on the earth.
The whole world had one language and one speech.
The people became proud and wanted to build themselves a city and a tower that reached to the sky.
People worshiped themselves as idols, away from God, so evil sprouted in their hearts.
And there God confused their language, so that they could not understand one another, and he scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.
So they left off building the city.
Wherefore the city was called Babel, which is to say, Turbulence.
