Genesis 6:5-18(NASB)

⁵ Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. ⁶ TheLord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved ^[a]in His heart. ⁷ The Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the^[b]sky; for I am sorry that I have made them.” ⁸ But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

⁹ These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man,^[c]blameless in his ^[d]time; Noah walked with God. ¹⁰ Noah ^[e]became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

¹¹ Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence. ¹² God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.

¹³ Then God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth. ¹⁴ Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; you shall make the ark with rooms, and shall ^[f]cover it inside and out with pitch. ¹⁵ This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark three hundred ^[g]cubits, its breadth fifty ^[h]cubits, and its height thirty ^[i]cubits. ¹⁶ You shall make a^[j]window for the ark, and finish it to a cubit from ^[k]the top; and set the door of the ark in the side of it; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.¹⁷ Behold, I, even I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish. ¹⁸ But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
