Genesis 6:9-13

9This is the account of Noah and his descendants. Noah had God’s approval and was a man of integrity among the people of his time. He walked with God.

10He had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11The world was corrupt in God’s sight and full of violence.

12God saw the world and how corrupt it was because all people on earth lived evil lives.

13God said to Noah, “I have decided to put an end to all people because the earth is full of their violence. Now I’m going to destroy them along with the earth.
