Genesis 6:3-7

Expanded Bible

³ The Lord said, “My Spirit will not ·remain in [or contend with] human beings forever, because they are ·flesh [mortal]. ·They will live [^LTheir days will be] only 120 years.”

⁴ The ·Nephilim [^Lfallen ones; ^Cthe significance of the name is unclear] were on the earth in those days and also later. That was when the sons of God ·had sexual relations with [^Lcame in to] the daughters of ·human beings [^Tman; ^CHebrew: Adam; 1:27–28]. These women gave birth to children ·who became famous [^Lmen of a name] and were the mighty warriors of long ago. [^CThe Nephilim of Num. 13:31–33, though not related genealogically, were giants, suggesting these pre-flood Nephilim were also.]

⁵ The Lord saw that the human beings on the earth were very ·wicked [evil] and that ·everything they thought about [^Levery inclination of their mind/heart] was ·evil [wicked]. ⁶ He ·was sorry [regretted] he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. ⁷ So the Lord said, “I will ·destroy [wipe/blot out; exterminate] all human beings that I ·made [created; 1:1] on the earth. And I will destroy every animal and everything that ·crawls [creeps] on the earth and the birds of the ·air [sky; heavens], because I ·am sorry [regret] I have made them.”
