## Genesis 6:7-8 in Context (Verses 4–11 KJV)
 
 [4 ](/kjv/genesis/6/4) There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare *children* to them, the same *became* mighty men which *were* of old, men of renown.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/genesis/6/5) ¶ And GOD saw that the wickedness of man *was* great in the earth, and *that* every imagination of the thoughts of his heart *was* only evil continually.**
 
 [6 ](/kjv/genesis/6/6) And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/genesis/6/7) And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.*
 
 [8 ](/kjv/genesis/6/8) But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/genesis/6/9) ¶ These *are* the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man *and* perfect in his generations, *and* Noah walked with God.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/genesis/6/10) And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/genesis/6/11) The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
