Genesis 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth… 1. God's execution of vengeance falleth soon after His resolution. 2. Jehovah will be the executioner of His own sentence on the wicked. 3. It is God's work to set confederates against each other who conspire against Him. 4. The place of sin may sometimes prove the place of vengeance. 5. Sinners' consultations to strengthen themselves in one place may end in a universal dispersion. 6. The earth is overspread with sinners against God by His judgment taken on them. 7. The strongest councils of sin will be frustrated by God. 8. High resolutions of sinners fall short of all their ends (ver. 8). (G. Hughes, B. D.)
