¹⁷ I am going to bring floodwaters^(A) on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.^{(B) 18} But I will establish my covenant with you,^(C) and you will enter the ark^(D)—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.

⁷ And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives entered the ark^(A) to escape the waters of the flood.

¹³ On that very day Noah and his sons,^(A) Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark.^(B)

²¹ Every living thing that moved on land perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind.^{(A) 22} Everything on dry land that had the breath of life^(B) in its nostrils died. ²³ Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth.^(C) Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.^(D)
