¹⁰ And after the seven days^(A) the floodwaters came on the earth.

²⁷ People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

⁴ Seven days from now I will send rain^(A) on the earth^(B) for forty days^(C) and forty nights,^(D) and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.^(E)”

³⁸ For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,^(A) up to the day Noah entered the ark; ³⁹ and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.^(B)

¹⁷ For forty days^(A) the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth. ¹⁸ The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. ¹⁹ They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered.^{(B) 20} The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits.^{[a][b] (C)}

¹⁷ I am going to bring floodwaters^(A) 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.^(B)
