Bible Verses About The Deluge

Adonai saw that the people on earth were very wicked, that all the imaginings of their hearts were always of evil only.

Adonai regretted that he had made humankind on the earth; it grieved his heart.

Adonai said, “I will wipe out humankind, whom I have created, from the whole earth; and not only human beings, but animals, creeping things and birds in the air; for I regret that I ever made them.”

The earth was corrupt before God, the earth was filled with violence.

God saw the earth, and, yes, it was corrupt; for all living beings had corrupted their ways on the earth.

God said to Noach, “The end of all living beings has come before me, for because of them the earth is filled with violence. I will destroy them along with the earth.

But I will establish my covenant with you; you will come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife and your sons’ wives with you.

“From everything living, from each kind of living being, you are to bring two into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they are to be male and female.

Of each kind of bird, each kind of livestock, and each kind of animal creeping on the ground, two are to come to you, so that they can be kept alive.

Also take from all the kinds of food that are eaten, and collect it for yourself; it is to be food for you and for them.”

This is what Noach did; he did all that God ordered him to do.

“As for me — I am herewith establishing my covenant with you, with your descendants after you,

and with every living creature that is with you — the birds, the livestock and every wild animal with you, all going out of the ark, every animal on earth.

I will establish my covenant with you that never again will all living beings be destroyed by the waters of a flood, and there will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”

God added, “Here is the sign of the covenant I am making between myself and you and every living creature with you, for all generations to come:

I am putting my rainbow in the cloud — it will be there as a sign of the covenant between myself and the earth.

Whenever I bring clouds over the earth, and the rainbow is seen in the cloud;

I will remember my covenant which is between myself and you and every living creature of any kind; and the water will never again become a flood to destroy all living beings.

The rainbow will be in the cloud; so that when I look at it, I will remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of any kind on the earth.”

God said to Noach, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between myself and every living creature on the earth.”

"Are you going to keep to the old way, the one the wicked have trodden,

the ones snatched away before their time, whose foundations a flood swept away?

They said to God, 'Leave us alone! What can Shaddai do to us?'

"But when that day and hour will come, no one knows -- not the angels in heaven, not the Son, only the Father.

For the Son of Man's coming will be just as it was in the days of Noach.
