Genesis 11:1-9
The entire earth had one language and speech. People migrated east, found a plain in Shinar, and settled there. They decided to build a city and a tower reaching to the heavens to make a name for themselves and avoid being scattered across the earth. The Lord observed their unified effort and confused their language, causing them not to understand each other. Consequently, the people were scattered across the earth, and the city was named Babel because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world.

Psalm 9:7-14
The Lord reigns forever, establishing His throne for judgment. He judges the world with righteousness and governs with justice. The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed and a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know His name trust in Him, for He has not forsaken those who seek Him. Sing praises to the Lord, proclaim His deeds among the nations. He remembers the cry of the afflicted. Have mercy, O Lord, and see my suffering from those who hate me, lifting me from the gates of death to declare Your praises.

Proverbs 4:7-9
Wisdom is supreme, so acquire wisdom and understanding at all costs. Esteem and embrace wisdom, and she will exalt and honor you. She will bestow on you a garland of grace and a crown of beauty.

John 2:12-25
After the wedding at Cana, Jesus, His mother, brothers, and disciples went to Capernaum for a few days. Near Passover, Jesus went to Jerusalem and found people selling animals and exchanging money in the temple. He drove them out, saying they turned His Father's house into a marketplace. The Jews asked for a sign to prove His authority. Jesus said, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it in three days," referring to His body. After He rose from the dead, His disciples recalled this and believed the Scripture and His words. During Passover, many believed in His name, seeing the signs He performed, but Jesus did not fully entrust Himself to them, knowing human nature.
