And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.”So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth.

As if a rod should wield him who lifts it, or as if a staff should lift him who is not wood!
