As people migrated from the east, they found a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there.They said to each other,“ Come, let us make oven-fired bricks.” They used brick for stone and asphalt for mortar.And they said,“ Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the sky. Let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise, we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”Then the Lord came down to look over the city and the tower that the men were building.The Lord said,“ If they have begun to do this as one people all having the same language, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.Come, let Us go down there and confuse their language so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”So from there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth, and they stopped building the city.Therefore its name is called Babylon, 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.

Isaiah 10:8-15
For he says,“ Aren’t all my commanders kings?Isn’t Calno like Carchemish? Isn’t Hamath like Arpad? Isn’t Samaria like Damascus?As my hand seized the idolatrous kingdoms, whose idols exceeded those of Jerusalem and Samaria,and as I did to Samaria and its idols will I not also do to Jerusalem and its idols?”But when the Lord finishes all His work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, He will say,“ I will punish the king of Assyria for his arrogant acts and the proud look in his eyes.”For he said: I have done this by my own strength and wisdom, for I am clever. I abolished the borders of nations and plundered their treasures; like a mighty warrior, I subjugated the inhabitants.My hand has reached out, as if into a nest, to seize the wealth of the nations. Like one gathering abandoned eggs, I gathered the whole earth. No wing fluttered; no beak opened or chirped.Does an ax exalt itself above the one who chops with it? Does a saw magnify itself above the one who saws with it? It would be like a staff waving the one who lifts it! It would be like a rod lifting a man who isn’t wood!
