Genesis 6:5-8 - Judgment Decreed

⁵ And Yahweh saw that the evil of humankind [was] great upon the earth, and every inclination of the thoughts of his heart [was] always only evil. ⁶ And Yahweh regretted that he had made humankind on the earth, and {he was grieved in his heart}. ⁷ And Yahweh said, "I will destroy humankind whom I created from upon the face of the earth, from humankind, to animals, to creeping things, and to the birds of heaven, for I regret that I have made them." ⁸ But Noah found favor in the eyes of Yahweh.
