The LORD regretted making human beings on the earth, and he was heartbroken.

The LORD saw that humanity had become thoroughly evil on the earth and that every idea their minds thought up was always completely evil.

But as for Noah, the LORD approved of him.

These are Noah’s descendants. In his generation, Noah was a moral and exemplary man; he walked with God.

So the LORD said, “I will wipe off of the land the human race that I’ve created: from human beings to livestock to the crawling things to the birds in the skies, because I regret I ever made them.”

When the number of people started to increase throughout the fertile land, daughters were born to them. The divine beings saw how beautiful these human women were, so they married the ones they chose. The LORD said, “My breath will not remain in humans forever, because they are flesh. They will live one hundred twenty years.” In those days, giants lived on the earth and also afterward, when divine beings and human daughters had sexual relations and gave birth to children. These were the ancient heroes, famous men.

Noah did everything exactly as God commanded him.

God said to Noah, “The end has come for all creatures, since they have filled the earth with violence. I am now about to destroy them along with the earth

so make a wooden ark. Make the ark with nesting places and cover it inside and out with tar.

God saw that the earth was corrupt, because all creatures behaved corruptly on the earth.

From all living things—from all creatures—you are to bring a pair, male and female, into the ark with you to keep them alive.
