Genesis 6:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ The Lord saw that the human beings on the earth were very wicked. He also saw that their thoughts were only about evil all the time. ⁶ The Lord was sorry he had made human beings on the earth. His heart was filled with pain. ⁷ So the Lord said, “I will destroy all human beings that I made on the earth. And I will destroy every animal and everything that crawls on the earth. I will also destroy the birds of the air. This is because I am sorry that I have made them.”
