Genesis 6:12

²God looks down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after God. ³Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

³The LORD’s eyes are everywhere, keeping watch on the evil and the good.

¹The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt. They have done abominable deeds. There is no one who does good. ²The LORD looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God. ³They have all gone aside. They have together become corrupt. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

¹⁵Will you keep the old way, which wicked men have trodden, ¹⁶who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream, ¹⁷who said to God, ‘Depart from us!’ and, ‘What can the Almighty do for us?’

⁵and didn’t spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood on the world of the ungodly,

¹⁹in whom he also went and preached to the spirits in prison, ²⁰who before were disobedient when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.

¹³The LORD looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men. ¹⁴From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,

⁴The Nephilim^[+] were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God’s sons came in to men’s daughters and had children with them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

⁵The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil.

⁸But Noah found favor in the LORD’s eyes.

²⁷He sings before men, and says, ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it didn’t profit me.
