Genesis 6:3-7
3Then the Lord said, “1My Spirit shall not 2strive with man forever, 34because he also is flesh; 5nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4The 6Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
5Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that 7every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 68The Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was 9grieved 10in His heart. 7The Lord said, “11I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the 12sky; for 13I am sorry that I have made them.”
