Bereshis 6:5-8

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁵ And Hashem saw that the wickedness of HaAdam was great in ha’aretz and that every yetzer (inclination) of the machshevot (thoughts) of his lev was only rah (evil) continually.

⁶ And Hashem relented that He had made HaAdam on ha’aretz, and He was hurt in His lev.

⁷ And Hashem said, I will wipe out HaAdam whom I have created from the face of ha’adamah; both Adam, and Behemah, and the Remes and the Oph HaShomayim; for I relent that I have made them.

⁸ But Noach found chen (grace, unmerited favor) in the eyes of Hashem.
