5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And the Lord repented of having made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast and the animals and the fowls of the air; for I repent of having made them.
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

11 The earth corrupted itself before God, and the earth filled itself with violence.
