The LORD was sorry that he had made humans and put them on the earth. He became very upset.

The LORD saw that men and women on the earth had become very bad. They thought only of evil things all the time.

But as for Noah, the LORD was pleased with him.

This is the report about Noah and his family. Noah was a good man. He was the only person at that time who lived in a completely right way. He stayed near to God in his life.

So the LORD said, ‘I made humans, but now I will destroy them. I will completely take them off the earth. As well as human people, I will also destroy the animals, the living things that move on the ground, and the birds. I am sorry that I made them.’

People began to grow in number all over the earth. They gave birth to daughters. The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful. They chose for themselves any of them that they wanted to become their wives. The LORD said, ‘My Spirit will not give life to humans for ever. One day they will die. I will not let them live for more than 120 years. Then they will die.’ The Nephilites lived on the earth at that time, and for some time after that. During that time, the sons of God were having sex with the daughters of men, who gave birth to their children. The Nephilites were famous great men and fighters.

Noah obeyed God. He did everything that God had told him to do.

God said to Noah, ‘I will destroy everyone. That is what I have decided to do. Everywhere on the earth, people are attacking each other. Now I will destroy the people and also the earth.

So make a ship for yourself. Use wood from cypress trees to make it. The ship must have rooms in it. Cover the inside and the outside of the ship with tar.

God saw how much the earth had become spoiled. Everyone was doing bad things.

You must also take two of every different kind of animal into the ship. One will be male and the other will be female. Then they will stay alive with you.
