Genesis 6:1-7

1And it came to pass, when menH120 beganH2490 to multiply on the faceH6440 of the groundH127, and daughtersH1323 wereH1961 bornH3205 unto them, 2that the sonsH1121 of GodH430 sawH7200 the daughtersH1323 of menH120 that they were fair; and they tookH3947 them wivesH802 of all that they choseH977. 3And Jehovah saidH559, My SpiritH7307 shall not strive with manH120 for everH5769, for that he alsoH1571 is fleshH1320: yet shall his daysH3117 beH1961 a hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141. 4The NephilimH5303 were in the earthH776 in those daysH3117, and alsoH1571 after that, when the sonsH1121 of GodH430 cameH935 in unto the daughtersH1323 of menH376, and they bare children to them: the same were the mightyH1368 menH376 that were of old, the menH376 of renown.

5And Jehovah sawH7200 that the wickednessH7451 of manH120 was greatH7227 in the earthH776, and that every imagination of the thoughtsH4284 of his heartH3820 was onlyH7535 evilH7451 continually. 6And it repentedH5162 Jehovah that he had madeH6213 manH120 on the earthH776, and it grieved him at his heartH3820. 7And Jehovah saidH559, I will destroy manH120 whom I have createdH1254 from the faceH6440 of the groundH127; both manH120, and beast, and creepingH7431 thingsH7431, and birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064; for it repenteth me that I have madeH6213 them.
