Genesis 6:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ And God seeing that the wickedness of men was great on the earth, and that all the thought of their heart was bent upon evil at all times,

⁶ It repented him that he had made man on the earth. And being touched inwardly with sorrow of heart,

⁷ He said: I will destroy man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, from man even to beasts, from the creeping thing even to the fowls of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them.
