1
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them,
2
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all whom they chose.
3
And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
4
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore [children] to them: the same [became] mighty men, who [were] of old, men of renown.
5
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually.
6
And the LORD repented that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7
And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created, from the face of the earth, both man and beast, and the creeping animal, and the fowls of the air; for I repent that I have made them.
8
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
