Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them,
the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.
that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days — and also afterward — when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.
The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled.
And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created — and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground — for I regret that I have made them.”
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.”

Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence.
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.
So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
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 both them and the earth.
The Ark Prepared
And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.
I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.
And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die.
But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark — you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.
But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark — you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you.
And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.
Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.
Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive.
You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.”
And you shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them.”
