Genesis 6:3-5
Legacy Standard Bible
3 Then Yahweh said, “(A)My Spirit shall not [a]strive with man forever [b](B)because he indeed is flesh; [c]nevertheless his days shall be 120 years.” 4 The (C)Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
5 Then Yahweh saw that the evil of man was great on the earth, and that (D)every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
