He was very sorry that he had made them

The LORD saw how bad the people on earth were and that everything they thought and planned was evil.

But the LORD was pleased with Noah

and this is the story about him. Noah was the only person who lived right and obeyed God.

and he said, “I'll destroy every living creature on earth! I'll wipe out people, animals, birds, and reptiles. I'm sorry I ever made them.”

More and more people were born, until finally they spread all over the earth. Some of their daughters were so beautiful that supernatural beings came down and married the ones they wanted. Then the LORD said, “I won't let my life-giving breath remain in anyone for ever. No one will live for more than one hundred and twenty years.” The children of the supernatural beings who had married these women became famous heroes and warriors. They were called Nephilim and lived on the earth at that time and even later.

Noah did everything the LORD told him to do.

So he told Noah: Cruelty and violence have spread everywhere. Now I'm going to destroy the whole earth and all its people.

Get some good timber and build a boat. Put rooms in it and cover it with tar inside and out.

God knew that everyone was terribly cruel and violent.

Bring into the boat with you a male and a female of every kind of animal and bird, as well as a male and a female of every reptile. I don't want them to be destroyed.
