Genesis 6:2-5

Increasing Corruption on Earth

² the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. ³ Then the Lord said, _z "My Spirit shall not abide in ₁ man forever, _a for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years." ⁴ The Nephilim ₂ 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.
