Genesis 6:5-13

5Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.

7So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.”

8But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

9This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.

10And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

12So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

13And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
