17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth, and the waters multiplied and bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.
18 And the waters prevailed and multiplied greatly upon the earth, and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth, and all the high mountains that were under all the heavens were covered.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail, and the mountains were covered.
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl and of beasts and of animals and of every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth and every man;
22 all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life of all that was in the dry land died.
23 And every substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man and cattle and the animals and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth, and only Noah remained alive and those that were with him in the ark.
