Genesis 6:5–14
5 Then 3the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every gintent 4of the thoughts of his heart was only evil 5continually. 6 And hthe Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and iHe was grieved in His jheart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will kdestroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah lfound grace in the eyes of the Lord.
9 This is the genealogy of Noah. mNoah was a just man, 6perfect in his generations. Noah nwalked with God. 10 And Noah begot three sons: oShem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt pbefore God, and the earth was qfilled with violence. 12 So God rlooked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for sall flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
13 And God said to Noah, t“The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; uand behold, vI will destroy them with the earth. 14 Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make 7rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.
