Today's Scripture [1-14-13]

   And GOD saw that the wickedness of man
was great in the earth, and that every imagina-
tion of the thoughts of his heart was only evil
continually.
   And it repented the LORD that He had made
man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His
heart.
   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.
   But Noah found grace in the eyes of the
LORD.
   These are the generations of Noah: Noah was
a just man and perfect in his generations, and
Noah walked with God.
   And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and
Japheth.
   The earth also was corrupt before God, and the
earth was filled with violence.
   And God looked upon the earth, and, behold,
it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his
way upon the earth.
   And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh
is come before me; for the earth is filled with
violence through them; and, behold, I will de-
stroy them with the earth...
   And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of
waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh,
wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven;
and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
   But with thee will I establish my covenant;
and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy
sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
