Bible, King James Version
Genesis
Gen.6
[1] And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the
face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
[2] That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that
they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they
chose.
[3] And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive
with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an
hundred and twenty years.
[4] There were giants in the earth in those days; and also
after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of
men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men
which were of old, men of renown.
[5] And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in
the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his
heart was only evil continually.
[6] And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the
earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
[7] And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have
created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the
creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me
that I have made them.
[8] But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
[9] These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man
and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
[10] And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and
Japheth.
[11] The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth
was filled with violence.
[12] And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was
corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
[13] And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come
before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them;
and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
[14] Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou
make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with
pitch.
[15] And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of:
The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth
of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
[16] A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit
shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou
set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories
shalt thou make it.
[17] And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters
upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of
life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth
shall die.
[18] But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou
shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and
thy sons' wives with thee.
[19] And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every
sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee;
they shall be male and female.
[20] Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their
kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of
every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
[21] And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten,
and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for
thee, and for them.
[22] Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded
him, so did he.
