Genesis 6:5-8 - Judgment Decreed
5 Jehovah saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become. Every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. 6 Jehovah was grieved that he had made man on the earth. His heart was grieved with pain. 7 So Jehovah said: I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth. All of them: men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air. I am sorry that I created them. 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.
