17And for forty days the waters were over all the earth; and the waters were increased so that the ark was lifted up high over the earth.
18And the waters overcame everything and were increased greatly on the earth, and the ark was resting on the face of the waters.
19And the waters overcame everything on the earth; and all the mountains under heaven were covered.
20The waters went fifteen cubits higher, till all the mountains were covered.
21And destruction came on every living thing moving on the earth, birds and cattle and beasts and everything which went on the earth, and every man.
22Everything on the dry land, in which was the breath of life, came to its end.
23Every living thing on the face of all the earth, man and cattle and things moving on the face of the earth, and birds of the air, came to destruction: only Noah and those who were with him in the ark, were kept from death.
