⁵ Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.

¹¹ Yahweh will be awesome to them, for he will famish all the gods of the land. Men will worship him, everyone from his place, even all the shores of the nations.

²² and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;

¹⁰ For pass over to the isles of Kittim, and see; and send to Kedar, and consider diligently; and see if there has been such a thing.

²⁰ These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, in their nations.

⁹ Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of Yahweh your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified you.

¹⁸ According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense.

⁵ My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the peoples; the isles shall wait for me, and on my arm shall they trust.

¹ Listen, isles, to me; and listen, you peoples, from far: Yahweh has called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother has he made mention of my name:

¹⁰ Sing to Yahweh a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth; you who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants of it.

⁴ He will not fail nor be discouraged, until he have set justice in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.

⁵ The isles have seen, and fear; the ends of the earth tremble; they draw near, and come.

¹⁵ Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are accounted as the small dust of the balance: Behold, he takes up the isles as a very little thing.

¹⁵ Therefore glorify Yahweh in the east, even the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea!

¹⁰ The kings of Tarshish and of the isles will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

¹ The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.

² It happened, as they traveled east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they lived there.

³ They said one to another, "Come, let's make brick, and burn them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.

⁴ They said, "Come, let's build us a city, and a tower, whose top reaches to the sky, and let's make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth."

⁵ Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.

⁶ Yahweh said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.

⁷ Come, let's go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."

⁸ So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.

⁹ Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because Yahweh confused the language of all the earth, there. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.

²⁵ To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days was the earth divided. His brother's name was Joktan.
