4 They now said: “Come on! Let us build ourselves a city and also a tower* with its top in the heavens,+ and let us make a celebrated name* for ourselves,+ for fear we may be scattered over all the surface of the earth.”+

23 And you, Ca·perʹna·um,+ will you perhaps be exalted to heaven?* Down to Haʹdes*+ you will come;+ because if the powerful works that took place in you had taken place in Sodʹom, it would have remained until this very day.
