Genesis 11:6-9

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, ^alet us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.” 8 So ^bthe 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 ^cBabel, 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.

Job 5:13-14

and ^ggrope at noonday as in the night.

Psalms 39:6

6 Surely a man ^hgoes about as a shadow!
Surely for nothing ^{▼▼Hebrew Surely as a breath} they are in turmoil;

Psalms 127:1-2

Unless the Lord Builds the House

A Song of ^kAscents. Of Solomon.

1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord ^lwatches over the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is in vain that you rise up early
and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious ^mtoil;
for he gives to his ⁿbeloved ^osleep.

Proverbs 21:30

30 ^pNo wisdom, no understanding, no counsel
can avail against the Lord.
