6 The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled.
7 God said, "I'll get rid of my ruined creation, make a clean sweep: people, animals, snakes and bugs, birds - the works. I'm sorry I made them."

12 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.
13 God said to Noah, "It's all over. It's the end of the human race. The violence is everywhere; I'm making a clean sweep.
