1. Mosebok 6,12

10 Noah var far til tre sønner, som het Sem, Kam og Jafet.

11 Nå var jorden fordervet i Guds øyne og full av vold.

Gud så på jorden og så at den var fordervet, for alt kjød hadde fordervet sin vei på jorden.

13 Da sa Gud til Noah: “Enden på alt kjød er kommet for meg, for jorden er fylt med vold på grunn av dem; se, jeg vil ødelegge dem sammen med jorden.

14 Lag deg en ark av gofertre; lag rom i arken og stryk den med bek både innvendig og utvendig.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
