Genesis 6:3-7

3Then the LordH3068 saidH559, “1My SpiritH7307 will not 2remainH1777 with manH120 foreverH5769, 34because he is alsoH1571 fleshH1320; 5nevertheless his daysH3117 shall be 120H3967H6242 yearsH8141.” 4The 67NephilimH5303 were on the earthH776 in thoseH1992 daysH3117, and alsoH1571 afterwardH310H3651, whenH834 the sonsH1121 of GodH430 cameH935 inH935 to the daughtersH1323 of mankindH120, and they boreH3205 childrenH3205 to them. ThoseH1992 were the mightyH1368 menH1368 whoH834 were of oldH5769, menH376 of renownH8034.

5Then the LordH3068 sawH7200 that the wickednessH7463 of mankindH120 was greatH7227 on the earthH776, and that 8everyH3605 intentH3336 of the thoughtsH4284 of 9their heartsH3820 was onlyH7534 evilH7451 continuallyH3605H3117. 6So 10the LordH3068 wasH5162 sorryH5162 that He had madeH6213 mankindH120 on the earthH776, and He was 11grievedH6087 12in His heartH3820. 7Then the LordH3068 saidH559, “13I will wipeH4229 outH4229 mankindH120 whomH834 I have createdH1254 from the faceH6440 of the landH127; mankindH120, and animalsH929 asH5704 wellH5704, and crawlingH7431 thingsH7431, and the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064. For 14I amH5162 sorryH5162 that I have madeH6213 them.”
