1 And it was when the sons of men had begun to multiply upon the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of the mighty saw the daughters of men that they were beautiful, and took to them wives of all whom they pleased. 3 And the Lord said, This evil generation shall not stand before me forever, because they are flesh, and their works are evil. A term (or length) will I give them, an hundred and twenty years, if they may be converted. 4 Giants were in the earth in those days; and also when, after that the sons of the mighty had gone in unto the daughters of men, there were born from them giants who from of old were men of name.
5 And the Lord saw that the wickedness of man had multiplied in the earth, and that every formation (or image) of the thought of his heart was only evil every day. 6 And it repented the Lord in His Word that He had made men upon the earth. 7 And He said, (in His Word,) that He would break their strength according to His pleasure. And the Lord said, Man whom I have made will I blot out I from the face of the earth; from man to the beast, to the reptile, and to the fowls of heaven; because it repenteth Me in My Word that I have made them. 8 But Noach found mercy before the Lord.
9 These are the memorials of Noach. Noach was a man righteous and perfect in his generation; in the fear of the Lord walked Noach.
