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)

⁷ So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth^(A) the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.^(B)”
