7 So the Lord said, “I will destroy man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—both man and beast, and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky, for I am sorry that I have made them.”
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
9 These are the generations of Noah.Noah was a just man and blameless among his contemporaries. Noah walked with God.
10 Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth was corrupt before God and filled with violence.
12 God looked on the earth and saw it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
13 So God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh is come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. Now I will destroy them with the earth.
