Genesis 6:6-8

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ And the Lord was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. ⁷ So the Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the ground, man and beast and creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” ⁸ But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
