Genesis 7:11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month: on that day
All the fountains of the great abyss[a] burst forth,
and the floodgates of the sky were opened.

and a bear met him;
Or as if on entering the house
he rested his hand against the wall,
and a snake bit it.
