Genesis 6:5-13

5And YhwhH3068 sawH7200 that the wickednessH7451 of manH120 was greatH7227 in the earthH776, and that every imaginationH3336 of the thoughtsH4284 of his heartH3820 was onlyH7535 evilH7451 continuallyH3117.12 6And it repentedH5162 YhwhH3068 that he had madeH6213 manH120 on the earthH776, and it grievedH6087 him atH413 his heartH3820. 7And YhwhH3068 saidH559, I will destroyH4229 manH120 whom I have createdH1254 from the faceH6440 of the earthH127; both manH120, andH5704 beastH929, and the creeping thingH7431, and the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064; for it repentethH5162 me that I have madeH6213 them.3 8But NoahH5146 foundH4672 graceH2580 in the eyesH5869 of YhwhH3068.

9These are the generationsH8435 of NoahH5146: NoahH5146 was a justH6662 manH376 and perfectH8549 in his generationsH1755, and NoahH5146 walkedH1980 with GodH430.4 10And NoahH5146 begatH3205 threeH7969 sonsH1121, ShemH8035, HamH2526, and JaphethH3315. 11The earthH776 also was corruptH7843 beforeH6440 GodH430, and the earthH776 was filledH4390 with violenceH2555. 12And GodH430 lookedH7200 upon the earthH776, and, behold, it was corruptH7843; for all fleshH1320 had corruptedH7843 his wayH1870 upon the earthH776. 13And GodH430 saidH559 unto NoahH5146, The endH7093 of all fleshH1320 is comeH935 before meH6440; for the earthH776 is filled withH4390 violenceH2555 through themH6440; and, behold, I will destroyH7843 them withH854 the earthH776.5
