Genesis 6:5-10
New King James Version
5 Then [a]the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every (A)intent[b] of the thoughts of his heart was only evil [c]continually. 6 And (B)the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and (C)He was grieved in His (D)heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will (E)destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah (F)found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
Noah Pleases God
9 This is the genealogy of Noah. (G)Noah was a just man, [d]perfect in his generations. Noah (H)walked with God. 10 And Noah begot three sons: (I)Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
