By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.

The waters also flooded the world of that time. And so they destroyed the world.

and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished.

Then he used the water to destroy the ancient world with a mighty flood.

Through these the world of that time perished when it was flooded.

through which the world at that time was destroyed by being flooded with water.

by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water.

by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

Through these waters the world of that time perished when it was flooded.

Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

and if he did not spare the ancient world, but did protect Noah, a herald of righteousness, along with seven others, when God brought a flood on an ungodly world,

People were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage– right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

For in those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark.And they knew nothing until the flood came and took them all away. It will be the same at the coming of the Son of Man.

And after seven days the floodwaters engulfed the earth.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 deep burst open and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.And the rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.On that very day Noah entered the ark, accompanied by his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, along with his wife and his sons’ three wives.They entered, along with every living creature after its kind, every animal after its kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, everything with wings.Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life came into the ark to Noah.Those that entered were male and female, just as God commanded him. Then the LORD shut him in.The flood engulfed the earth for forty days. As the waters increased, they lifted the ark and raised it above the earth.The waters completely overwhelmed the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.The waters completely inundated the earth so that even all the high mountains under the entire sky were covered.The waters rose more than twenty feet above the mountains.And all living things that moved on the earth died, including the birds, domestic animals, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all humankind.Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.So the LORD destroyed every living thing that was on the surface of the ground, including people, animals, creatures that creep along the ground, and birds of the sky. They were wiped off the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark survived.

If he holds back the waters, then they dry up; if he releases them, they destroy the land.

then I will remember my covenant with you and with all living creatures of all kinds. Never again will the waters become a flood and destroy all living things.
