Genesis 6

¹And it cometh to pass that mankind have begun to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to them,

²and sons of God see the daughters of men that they [are] fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have chosen.

³And Jehovah saith, 'My Spirit doth not strive in man — to the age; in their erring they [are] flesh:' and his days have been an hundred and twenty years.

⁴The fallen ones were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when sons of God come in unto daughters of men, and they have borne to them — they [are] the heroes, who, from of old, [are] the men of name.

⁵And Jehovah seeth that abundant [is] the wickedness of man in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil all the day;

⁶and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself — unto His heart.

⁷And Jehovah saith, 'I wipe away man whom I have prepared from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens, for I have repented that I have made them.'

⁸And Noah found grace in the eyes of Jehovah.

⁹These [are] births of Noah: Noah [is] a righteous man; perfect he hath been among his generations; with God hath Noah walked habitually.

¹⁰And Noah begetteth three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

¹¹And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled [with] violence.

¹²And God seeth the earth, and lo, it hath been corrupted, for all flesh hath corrupted its way on the earth.
