The omnipotent God was jealous or scared of human accomplishments

So your interpretation is God is scared or jealous. Mine is different.

I see this as typical humanism. Man building a monument to man saying "look what I can do". This also goes along with the thinking God helps those who help themselves, when God helps the helpless, the undeserving, those who don't measure up etc alike.

I would also think that if God was scared or jealous that he would destroy the tower, and not just scatter the people.
