Genesis 6:5-8 New King James Version (NKJV)

⁵ Then ^[a]the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent^[b] of the thoughts of his heart was only evil ^[c]continually. ⁶ And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. ⁷ So the Lord said, “I will 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 found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
