6. And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved 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, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.”
8. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
9. This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
10. And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12. So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
