¹² God saw how corrupt^(A) the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.^(B)

¹¹ In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life,^(A) on the seventeenth day of the second month^(B)—on that day all the springs of the great deep^(C) burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens^(D) were opened.

²¹ Every living thing that moved on land perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind.^{(A) 22} Everything on dry land that had the breath of life^(B) in its nostrils died. ²³ Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth.^(C) Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.^(D)

³⁷ As it was in the days of Noah,^(A) so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

¹⁹ because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world,^(A) until now—and never to be equaled again.^(B)
