1And after a time, when men were increasing on the earth, and had daughters,
2The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took wives for themselves from those who were pleasing to them.
3And the Lord said, My spirit will not be in man for ever, for he is only flesh; so the days of his life will be a hundred and twenty years.
4There were men of great strength and size on the earth in those days; and after that, when the sons of God had connection with the daughters of men, they gave birth to children: these were the great men of old days, the men of great name.
5And the Lord saw that the sin of man was great on the earth, and that all the thoughts of his heart were evil.
6And the Lord had sorrow because he had made man on the earth, and grief was in his heart.
7And the Lord said, I will take away man, whom I have made, from the face of the earth, even man and beast and that which goes on the earth and every bird of the air; for I have sorrow for having made them.
