Genesis 6:8

Noah
GraceGod's love

6 And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.

7 So the LORD said, “I will blot out man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—every man and beast and crawling creature and bird of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them.”

Noah, however, found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

9 This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.

10 And Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
