17 The flood (A)continued forty days on the earth. The waters increased and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. 18 The waters prevailed and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed so mightily on the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered. 20 The waters prevailed above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits[a] deep. 21 And (B)all flesh died that moved on the earth, birds, livestock, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm on the earth, and all mankind. 22 Everything on the dry land (C)in whose nostrils was the breath of life died. 23 He blotted out every living thing that was on the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens. They were blotted out from the earth. Only (D)Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark.

  1. Matthew 26:38 Or keep awake; also verses 40, 41

26 “Your rowers have brought you out
    into the high seas.
(A)The east wind has wrecked you
    in the heart of the seas.
27 Your riches, your wares, your merchandise,
    your mariners and (B)your pilots,
(C)your caulkers, your dealers in merchandise,
    and all your men of war who are in you,
with all your crew
    that is in your midst,
sink into the heart of the seas
    (D)on the day of your fall.
28 At the sound of the cry of your pilots
    (E)the countryside shakes,
29 and down from their ships
    (F)come all who handle the oar.
The mariners and all the pilots of the sea
    stand on the land
30 (G)and shout aloud over you
    and cry out bitterly.
(H)They cast dust on their heads
    (I)and wallow in ashes;
31 they (J)make themselves bald for you
    and put sackcloth on their waist,
and they weep over you in bitterness of soul,
    with bitter mourning.
32 In their wailing they (K)raise a lamentation for you
    and lament over you:
(L)‘Who is like Tyre,
    like one destroyed in the midst of the sea?
33 When your wares came from the seas,
    (M)you satisfied many peoples;
with your abundant wealth and merchandise
    (N)you enriched the kings of the earth.
34 Now (O)you are wrecked by the seas,
    in the depths of the waters;
your merchandise and all your crew in your midst
    have sunk with you.
