And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
And the LORD said, 'Look, the people are united, and they all speak the same language. This is what they have started to do, and now nothing will stop them from accomplishing whatever they set their minds to do.'
God is observing that when people are completely united in purpose and communication, they become incredibly powerful and can achieve almost anything they imagine.
