Genesis 6:5-14

5Then the LordH3068 sawH7200 that the wickednessH7463 of mankindH120 was greatH7227 on the earthH776, and that 1everyH3605 intentH3336 of the thoughtsH4284 of 2their heartsH3820 was onlyH7534 evilH7451 continuallyH3605H3117. 6So 3the LordH3068 wasH5162 sorryH5162 that He had madeH6213 mankindH120 on the earthH776, and He was 4grievedH6087 5in His heartH3820. 7Then the LordH3068 saidH559, “6I 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 7I amH5162 sorryH5162 that I have madeH6213 them.” 8But 8NoahH5146 9foundH4672 favorH2580 in the eyesH5869 of the LordH3068.

9TheseH428 are the records of the generationsH8435 of NoahH5146. NoahH5146 was a 10righteousH6662 manH376, 1112blamelessH8549 in his generationH1755. NoahH5146 13walkedH1980 with GodH430. 10And NoahH5146 fatheredH3205 threeH7969 sonsH1121: ShemH8035, HamH2526, and JaphethH3315.

11Now the earthH776 wasH7843 14corruptH7843 in the sightH6440 of GodH430, and the earthH776 was 15filledH4390 with violenceH2555. 12And GodH430 lookedH7200 on the earthH776, and beholdH2009, it wasH7843 corruptH7843; for 1617humanityH1320 had corruptedH7843 its wayH1870 upon the earthH776.

13Then GodH430 saidH559 to NoahH5146, “18The endH7093 of 19humanityH1320 has comeH935 beforeH6440 Me; for the earthH776 is filledH4390 with violenceH2555 becauseH4480H6440 of 20people; and beholdH2009, I am about to destroyH7843 them with the earthH776. 14MakeH6213 for yourself an arkH8392 of 21gopherH1613 woodH6086; you shall makeH6213 the arkH8392 with compartmentsH7064, and 22coverH3722 it insideH4480H1004 and out with pitchH3724.
