Genesis 7:18-23

18The waters prevailed and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the face of the waters.

19And the waters prevailed so mightily on the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered.

20The waters prevailed above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits deep.

21And all flesh died that moved on the earth, birds, livestock, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm on the earth, and all mankind.

22Everything on the dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died.

23He blotted out every living thing that was on the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens. They were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark.
