5 Then Adonai saw that the wickedness of humankind was great on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their heart was only evil all the time.
6 So Adonai regretted that He made humankind on the earth, and His heart was deeply pained.
7 So Adonai said, “I will wipe out humankind, whom I have created, from the face of the ground, from humankind to livestock, crawling things and the flying creatures of the sky, because I regret that I made them.”
8 But Noah found favor in Adonai’s eyes.
9 These are the genealogies of Noah. Noah was a righteous man. He was blameless among his generation. Noah continually walked with God.
10 Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.
11 Now the earth was ruined before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
