Genesis 11:4-9

4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower ^awith its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.” 5 And ^bthe Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. 6 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. 7 Come, ^clet us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.” 8 So ^dthe Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. 9 Therefore its name was called ^eBabel, because there the Lord confused ^{▼▼ Babel sounds like the Hebrew for confused} the language of all the earth. And from there the Lord dispersed them over the face of all the earth.

Proverbs 24:27

27 ^gPrepare your work outside;
get everything ready for yourself in the field,
and after that build your house.
