Revised Literal Translation
Genesis 6:5-13
5And Yhwh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.12 6And it repented Yhwh that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7And Yhwh said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.3 8But Noah found grace in the eyes of Yhwh.
9These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.4 10And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.5
