Genesis 6:1-8

1And it came to pass, when menH120 beganH2490 to multiplyH7231 onH5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH127, and daughtersH1323 were bornH3205 to them, 2That the sonsH1121 of GodH430 sawH7200 the daughtersH1323 of menH120 that theyH2007 were fairH2896; and they tookH3947 them wivesH802 of all whom they choseH977.

3And the LORDH3068 saidH559, My spiritH7307 shall not alwaysH5769 striveH1777 with manH120, for that he alsoH1571H7683 is fleshH1320: yet his daysH3117 shall be an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141.

4There were giantsH5303 in the earthH776 in those daysH3117; and also afterH310 thatH3651, whenH834 the sonsH1121 of GodH430 came inH935 to the daughtersH1323 of menH120, and they boreH3205 children to them, the sameH1992 became mighty menH1368 who were of oldH5769, menH582 of renownH8034. 5And GodH3068 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 the LORDH3068 repentedH5162 that he had madeH6213 manH120 on the earthH776, and it grievedH6087 him atH413 his heartH3820. 7And the LORDH3068 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 I repentH5162 that I have madeH6213 them.3

8But NoahH5146 foundH4672 graceH2580 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068.
