The Ark Prepared(A)
13 And God said to Noah, (B)“The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; (C)and behold, (D)I will destroy them with the earth. 14 Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make [a]rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch. 15 And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred [b]cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. 16 You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks. 17 (E)And behold, I Myself am bringing (F)floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall (G)die. 18 But I will establish My (H)covenant with you; and (I)you shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. 19 And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring (J)two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. 20 Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind (K)will come to you to keep them alive. 21 And you shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them.”
22 (L)Thus Noah did; (M)according to all that (N)God commanded him, so he did.
The Great Flood(O)
7 Then the (P)Lord said to Noah, (Q)“Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that (R)you are righteous before Me in this generation. 2 You shall take with you seven each of every (S)clean animal, a male and his female; (T)two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; 3 also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep [c]the species alive on the face of all the earth. 4 For after (U)seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth (V)forty days and forty nights, and I will [d]destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made.” 5 (W)And Noah did according to all that the Lord commanded him. 6 Noah was (X)six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth.
7 (Y)So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.

Genesis 6:13-7:7
New International Version
13 So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy(A) both them and the earth.(B) 14 So make yourself an ark of cypress[a] wood;(C) make rooms in it and coat it with pitch(D) inside and out. 15 This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.[b] 16 Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit[c] high all around.[d] Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. 17 I am going to bring floodwaters(E) on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.(F) 18 But I will establish my covenant with you,(G) and you will enter the ark(H)—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. 19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you.(I) 20 Two(J) of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind(K) of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.(L) 21 You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.”
22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him.(M)
7 The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family,(N) because I have found you righteous(O) in this generation. 2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean(P) animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive(Q) throughout the earth. 4 Seven days from now I will send rain(R) on the earth(S) for forty days(T) and forty nights,(U) and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.(V)”
5 And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.(W)
6 Noah was six hundred years old(X) when the floodwaters came on the earth. 7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives entered the ark(Y) to escape the waters of the flood.

They were destroyed from the earth. Only (E)Noah and those who were with him in the ark remained alive.
