And the LORD {LORd} said: My spirit shall
not alway strive with man, for they are flesh. Nevertheless I will
give them yet space, an hundred and twenty years. There were
tyrants in the world in those days. For after that the children of
God had gone in unto the daughters of men and had begotten them
children, the same children were the mightiest of the world and
men of renown. And when the LORD saw that the wickedness of man
was increased upon the earth, and that all the imagination and
thoughts of his heart was only evil continually, he repented that
he had made man upon the earth and sorrowed in his heart. And
said: I will destroy mankind which I have made, from off the face
of the earth: both man, beast, worm and fowl of the air, for it
repenteth me that I have made them. But yet Noe found grace in the
sight of the LORD. These are the generations of Noe. Noe was a
righteous man and uncorrupt in his time, and walked with God. And
Noe begat three sons: Sem, Ham and Iapheth. And the earth was
corrupt in the sight of God, and was full of mischief. And God
looked upon the earth, and lo it was corrupt: for all flesh had
corrupted his way upon the earth. Then said God to Noe: the end of
all flesh is come before me, for the earth is full of their
mischief.
