Genesis 6:5-7

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.1 2 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
