Genesis 6:11

Read in context

Genesis 6:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.

10 And Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11 Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and full of violence.

12 And God looked upon the earth and saw that it was corrupt; for all living creatures on the earth had corrupted their ways.

13 Then God said to Noah, “The end of all living creatures has come before Me, because through them the earth is full of violence. Now behold, I will destroy both them and the earth.
