Genesis 6:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² And God saw that the earth was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon the earth. ¹³ And God said to Noah, “I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence because of them; now I am going to destroy them along with the earth. ¹⁴ Make yourself an ark of cypress^[a] wood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch.
