5 E o SENHOR viu que a maldade dos seres humanos era muita na terra, e que todo desígnio dos pensamentos dos seus corações era só mau continuamente.

6 E o SENHOR se arrependeu de haver feito o ser humano na terra, e pesou-lhe em seu coração.

7 E disse o SENHOR: Apagarei os seres humanos que criei de sobre a face da terra, desde o ser humano até o animal, e até o réptil e as aves do céu; porque me arrependo de havê-los feito.

8 Porém Noé achou favor aos olhos do SENHOR.

9 Estas são as gerações de Noé: Noé, homem justo, foi íntegro em suas gerações; Noé andava com Deus.
