Genesis 7:17-24

17The flood continued for forty days on the earth; the water increased and lifted up the ark so that it rose above the earth.

18The water surged and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water.

19Then the water surged even higher on the earth, and all the high mountains under the whole sky were covered.

20The mountains were covered as the water surged above them more than twenty feet.

21Every creature perished — those that crawl on the earth, birds, livestock, wildlife, and those that swarm on the earth, as well as all mankind.

22Everything with the breath of the spirit of life in its nostrils  — everything on dry land died.

23He wiped out every living thing that was on the face of the earth, from mankind to livestock, to creatures that crawl, to the birds of the sky, and they were wiped off the earth. Only Noah was left, and those that were with him in the ark.

24And the water surged on the earth 150 days.
