Genesis 6:1-8
1Now it cameH1961 about, whenH3588 menH120 beganH2490 to multiplyH7231 on the faceH6440 of the landH127, and daughtersH1323 were bornH3205 to them, 2that the sonsH1121 of GodH430 sawH7200 that the daughtersH1323 of menH120 were 1beautifulH2896; and they tookH3947 wivesH802 for themselves, whomeverH3605H834 they choseH977. 3Then the LordH3068 saidH559, “2My SpiritH7307 shall not 3striveH1777 with manH120 foreverH5769, 45becauseH7683 he alsoH7683 is fleshH1320; 6nevertheless his daysH3117 shall be one hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141.” 4The 7NephilimH5303 were on the earthH776 in thoseH1992 daysH3117, and alsoH1571 afterwardH310H3651, whenH834 the sonsH1121 of GodH430 cameH935 in to the daughtersH1323 of menH120, and they boreH3205 children to them. ThoseH1992 were the mightyH1368 menH1368 whoH834 were of oldH5769, menH376 of renownH8034.
5Then the LordH3068 sawH7200 that the wickednessH7463 of manH120 was greatH7227 on the earthH776, and that 8everyH3605 intentH3336 of the thoughtsH4284 of his heartH3820 was onlyH7534 evilH7451 continuallyH3605H3117. 69The LordH3068 was sorryH5162 that He had madeH6213 manH120 on the earthH776, and He was 10grievedH6087 11in His heartH3820. 7The LordH3068 saidH559, “12I will blotH4229 out manH120 whomH834 I have createdH1254 from the faceH6440 of the landH127, from manH120 to animalsH929 to creepingH7431 thingsH7431 and to birdsH5775 of the 13skyH8064; for 14I amH5162 sorryH5162 that I have madeH6213 them.” 8But 15NoahH5146 16foundH4672 favorH2580 in the eyesH5869 of the LordH3068.
