Genesis 6:5-8

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ The Lord saw how evil humans had become on the earth. All day long their deepest thoughts were nothing but evil. ⁶ The Lord was sorry that he had made humans on the earth, and he was heartbroken. ⁷ So he said, “I will wipe off the face of the earth these humans that I created. I will wipe out not only humans, but also domestic animals, crawling animals, and birds. I’m sorry that I made them.” ⁸ But the Lord was pleased with Noah.
