Genesis 6:6-12

New King James Version

⁶And ^(A)the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and ^(B)He was grieved in His ^(C)heart. ⁷So the Lord said, “I will ^(D)destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” ⁸But Noah ^(E)found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

Noah Pleases God

⁹This is the genealogy of Noah. ^(F)Noah was a just man, ^[a]perfect in his generations. Noah ^(G)walked with God. ¹⁰And Noah begot three sons: ^(H)Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

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

New American Standard Bible

⁶So ^(A)the Lord was sorry that He had made mankind on the earth, and He was ^(B)grieved ^[a]in His heart. ⁷Then the Lord said, “^(C)I will wipe out mankind whom I have created from the face of the land; mankind, and animals as well, and crawling things, and the birds of the sky. For ^(D)I am sorry that I have made them.” ⁸But ^(E)Noah ^(F)found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

⁹These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a ^(G)righteous man, ^[b]^(H)blameless in his generation. Noah ^(I)walked with God. ¹⁰And Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

¹¹Now the earth was ^(J)corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was ^(K)filled with violence. ¹²And God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for ^[c]^(L)humanity had corrupted its way upon the earth.
