Genesis 6:5-7

Modern English Version

⁵ The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was continually only evil. ⁶ The Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him in His heart. ⁷ So the Lord said, “I will destroy man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—both man and beast, and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky, for I am sorry that I have made them.”
