Genesis 7:17-22

17The flood was forty days upon the land, and the waters increased and lifted the ark, so that it rose above the land.

18The waters overpowered and became very mighty over the land, and the ark drifted on the surface of the water.

19The waters completely overpowered the land so that all the high mountains beneath the entire sky were covered.

20The waters rose 15 cubits higher, as the mountains were covered.

21All flesh perished—those that crawl on the land, the flying creatures, livestock, wild animals, all creatures that swarm upon the land, and all humankind.

22Everything that had the breath of the spirit of life in its nostrils—everything on dry land—died.
