Genesis 6:9-14

9TheseH428 are the records of the generationsH8435 of NoahH5146. NoahH5146 was a 1righteousH6662 manH376, 23blamelessH8549 in his generationH1755. NoahH5146 4walkedH1980 with GodH430. 10And NoahH5146 fatheredH3205 threeH7969 sonsH1121: ShemH8035, HamH2526, and JaphethH3315.

11Now the earthH776 wasH7843 5corruptH7843 in the sightH6440 of GodH430, and the earthH776 was 6filledH4390 with violenceH2555. 12And GodH430 lookedH7200 on the earthH776, and beholdH2009, it wasH7843 corruptH7843; for 78humanityH1320 had corruptedH7843 its wayH1870 upon the earthH776.

13Then GodH430 saidH559 to NoahH5146, “9The endH7093 of 10humanityH1320 has comeH935 beforeH6440 Me; for the earthH776 is filledH4390 with violenceH2555 becauseH4480H6440 of 11people; and beholdH2009, I am about to destroyH7843 them with the earthH776. 14MakeH6213 for yourself an arkH8392 of 12gopherH1613 woodH6086; you shall makeH6213 the arkH8392 with compartmentsH7064, and 13coverH3722 it insideH4480H1004 and out with pitchH3724.
