Noah and The Flood

The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled.  So the LORD said, I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground for I regret that I have made them.

But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. ow the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. 

So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.  Noah did everything just as God commanded him.

Noah did all that the LORD commanded him. Rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights. Every living thing that moved on land perished birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind.
