Genesis 6:1–7

¹And it cometh to pass that mankind have begun to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to them, ²and sons of God see the daughters of men that they are fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have chosen.

³And Jehovah saith, ‘My Spirit doth not strive in man—to the age; in their erring they are flesh:’ and his days have been an hundred and twenty years.

⁴The fallen ones were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when sons of God come in unto daughters of men, and they have borne to them—they are the heroes, who, from of old, are the men of name. ⁵And Jehovah seeth that abundant is the wickedness of man in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil all the day.

⁶And Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself—unto His heart. ⁷And Jehovah saith, ‘I wipe away man whom I have prepared from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens, for I have repented that I have made them.’
