7 And Yahweh said, “I will destroy humankind whom I created from upon the face of the earth, from humankind, to animals, to creeping things, and to the birds of heaven, for I regret that I have made them.”
8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Yahweh.
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, without defect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
10 And Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 And the earth was corrupted before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth.
13 And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth was filled with violence because of them. Now, look, I am going to destroy them along with the earth.
