The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil.
The LORD was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
The LORD said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground—man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky—for I am sorry that I have made them.”
But Noah found favor in the LORD’s eyes.
