Genesis 6:3-5
Evangelical Heritage Version

3 The Lord said, “My Spirit will not struggle[a] with man forever, because he is only flesh.[b] His days will be 120 years.” 4 The Nephilim[c] were on the earth in those days. After that, the sons of God went to the daughters of men, who bore children for them. Those became the powerful, famous men of ancient times.

5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of mankind was great on the earth, and that all the thoughts and plans they formed in their hearts were only evil every day.
