Génesis 6:5-12

5 Y el SEÑOR vio que era mucha la maldad de los hombres en la tierra, y que toda intención de los pensamientos de su corazón era sólo hacer siempre el mal.

6 Y le pesó al SEÑOR haber hecho al hombre en la tierra, y sintió tristeza en su corazón.

7 Y el SEÑOR dijo: Borraré de la faz de la tierra al hombre que he creado, desde el hombre hasta el ganado, los reptiles y las aves del cielo, porque me pesa haberlos hecho.

8 Mas Noé halló gracia ante los ojos del SEÑOR.

9 Estas son las generaciones de Noé. Noé era un hombre justo, perfecto entre sus contemporáneos; Noé andaba con Dios.

10 Y Noé engendró tres hijos: Sem, Cam y Jafet.

11 Y la tierra se había corrompido delante de Dios, y estaba la tierra llena de violencia.

12 Y miró Dios a la tierra, y he aquí que estaba corrompida, porque toda carne había corrompido su camino sobre la tierra.
