Genesis 6:5-8 ▼

5 Then Yahweh saw that the evil of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6 And Yahweh regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.

7 And Yahweh said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I regret that I have made them.”

8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Yahweh.
