Genesis 6:5-13

5Then Adonai saw that the wickedness of humankind was great on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their heart was only evil all the time.

6So Adonai regretted that He made humankind on the earth, and His heart was deeply pained.

7So Adonai said, “I will wipe out humankind, whom I have created, from the face of the ground, from humankind to livestock, crawling things and the flying creatures of the sky, because I regret that I made them.”

8But Noah found favor in Adonai’s eyes.

9These are the genealogies of Noah. Noah was a righteous man. He was blameless among his generation. Noah continually walked with God.

10Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.

11Now the earth was ruined before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

12God saw the earth, and behold it was ruined because all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.

13Then God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh is coming before Me, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. Behold, I am about to bring ruin upon them along with the land.
