 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. 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[a] the language of all the earth. And from there the Lord dispersed them over the face of all the earth.

+While Christians view the story of the Tower of Babel is a cautionary tale, the Modern Secularist perspective is that the Tower is an aspirational narrative of the indominable human will. As an example, the European Union Parliament building in Strasbourg was constructed in a style to evoke parallels of similitude between the European Project and the Babel Project.
