5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. |
6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved 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 found grace in the eyes of the LORD. |
9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. |
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. |
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. |
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. |
