⁵ Then ^[a]the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every ^(A)intent^[b] of the thoughts of his heart was only evil ^[c]continually. ⁶ And ^(B)the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and ^(C)He was grieved in His ^(D)heart.

¹¹ The earth also was corrupt ^(A)before God, and the earth was ^(B)filled with violence. ¹² So God ^(C)looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for ^(D)all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

¹² And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow ^(A)cold.
