5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that ||every dimagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil †continually. 6 And eit repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it fgrieved him at his heart. 7 And the Lord 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. 8 But Noah gfound grace in the eyes of the Lord.

9 These are the generations of Noah: hNoah was a just man and ||perfect in his generations, and Noah iwalked with God. 10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11 The earth also was corrupt kbefore God, and the earth was lfilled with violence. 12 And God mlooked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13 And God said unto Noah, nThe end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them ||with the earth. 14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; †rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
