Genesis 6:5-8 - Judgment Decreed

⁵ But the Lord saw that the wickedness of humankind had become great on the earth. Every inclination of the thoughts of their minds was only evil all the time. ⁶ The Lord regretted that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was highly offended. ⁷ So the Lord said, "I will wipe humankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth -- everything from humankind to animals, including creatures that move on the ground and birds of the air, for I regret that I have made them." ⁸ But Noah found favor in the sight of the Lord.
