5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that (A)every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 (B)The Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was (C)grieved (a)in His heart. 7 The Lord said, “(D)I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the (b)sky; for (E)I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But (F)Noah (G)found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
