God said, "I will destroy humankind whom I have created from the face of the earth; humankind, along with animals, crawling creatures, and flying creatures of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."

And as for me, look, I am bringing a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is on the earth will die.
18 Tedae nang taengah kai kah paipi te ka thoh vetih nang khaw, na ca rhoek khaw, na yuu khaw, na langa rhoek khaw, namah neh lawng khuila na khuen ni.
But I will establish my covenant with you. You are to come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.

Of every living thing of all flesh, you are to bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.

And as for you, take for yourself all the kinds of food that are eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be food for you, and for them."

Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
