Genesis 6:5-8

The LORD saw that the people on the earth were very evil. He saw that they thought only about evil things all the time. The LORD was sorry that he had made people on the earth. It made him very sad in his heart. So the LORD said, “I will destroy all the people I created on the earth. I will destroy every person and every animal and everything that crawls on the earth. And I will destroy all the birds in the air, because I am sorry that I have made them.” But Noah pleased the LORD.
