The LORD observed the extent
of human wickedness on the earth,
and he saw that everything they thought or imagined
was consistently and totally evil.
So the LORD was sorry he had ever made them
and put them on the earth.
It broke his heart.
And the LORD said,
“I will wipe this human race I have created
from the face of the earth…
I am sorry I ever made them.”
But Noah found favor with the LORD.
