Genesis 6:3-5

3Then the LordH3068 saidH559, “1My SpiritH7307 shall not 2striveH1777 with manH120 foreverH5769, 34becauseH7683 he alsoH7683 is fleshH1320; 5nevertheless his daysH3117 shall be one hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141.” 4The 6NephilimH5303 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 7everyH3605 intentH3336 of the thoughtsH4284 of his heartH3820 was onlyH7534 evilH7451 continuallyH3605H3117.
