Genesis 6:4-7

Increasing Corruption on Earth

⁴ The Nephilim ₁ were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.

⁵ _b The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every _c intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. ⁶ And _d the Lord was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it _e grieved him to his heart. ⁷ So the Lord said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them."
