Genesis 6:5-13

New King James Version

⁵ Then ^[a]the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every ^(A)intent^[b] of the thoughts of his heart was only evil ^[c]continually. ⁶ And ^(B)the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and ^(C)He was grieved in His ^(D)heart. ⁷ So the Lord said, “I will ^(E)destroy 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 ^(F)found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

Noah Pleases God

⁹ This is the genealogy of Noah. ^(G)Noah was a just man, ^[d]perfect in his generations. Noah ^(H)walked with God. ¹⁰ And Noah begot three sons: ^(I)Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

¹¹ The earth also was corrupt ^(J)before God, and the earth was ^(K)filled with violence. ¹² So God ^(L)looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for ^(M)all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

The Ark Prepared^(N)

¹³ And God said to Noah, ^(O)“The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; ^(P)and behold, ^(Q)I will destroy them with the earth.
