When mankind began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born to them,

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

the sons of God saw that the daughters of humanity were beautiful, and they took wives for themselves from whomever they chose.

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Then the Lord said, "My Spirit will not contend with humanity forever, because they are flesh; their days will be 120 years."

The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humanity and had children by them. They were the mighty men of old, men of renown.

The Lord saw how great the wickedness of humanity had become on the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of their heart was only evil continually.

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.

The Lord regretted that He had made humanity on the earth, and it deeply grieved Him.

And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

So the Lord said, "I will wipe out humanity, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—humans, along with the animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky—for I regret that I have made them."

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.

And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

Then God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me, because the earth is filled with violence through them; behold, I am going to destroy them along with the earth.

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.
