Genesis 7:17-24
17The flood engulfed the earth for forty days. As the waters increased, they lifted the ark and raised it above the earth.
18The waters completely overwhelmed the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.
19The waters completely inundated the earth so that even all the high mountains under the entire sky were covered.
20The waters rose more than twenty feet above the mountains.
21And all living things that moved on the earth died, including the birds, domestic animals, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all humankind.
22Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.
23So the Lord destroyed every living thing that was on the surface of the ground, including people, animals, creatures that creep along the ground, and birds of the sky. They were wiped off the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark survived.
24The waters prevailed over the earth for 150 days.
