Bible: Genesis 6:5-6; 8:21

6:5 But the Lord saw 1  that the wickedness of humankind had become great on the earth. Every inclination 2  of the thoughts 3  of their minds 4  was only evil 5  all the time. 6  6:6 The Lord regretted 7  that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was highly offended. 8 

8:21 And the Lord smelled the soothing aroma 1  and said 2  to himself, 3 I will never again curse 4  the ground because of humankind, even though 5  the inclination of their minds 6  is evil from childhood on. 7  I will never again destroy everything that lives, as I have just done.
