Noah and the Flood

⁹ This is the account^(A) of Noah and his family.

Noah was a righteous man, blameless^(B) among the people of his time,^(C) and he walked faithfully with God.^{(D) 10} Noah had three sons: Shem,^(E) Ham and Japheth.^(F)

¹¹ Now the earth was corrupt^(G) in God’s sight and was full of violence.^{(H) 12} God saw how corrupt^(I) the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.^{(J) 13} So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy^(K) both them and the earth.^(L)
