Genesis
Genesis says the LORD saw that human wickedness was great and that every intention of the heart was continually evil Genesis 6:5. It adds that the earth was corrupt and filled with violence Genesis 6:11–12.
5Yahweh 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.
6Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
7Yahweh said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground; man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."
8But Noah found favor in Yahweh`s eyes.
9This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
10Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
