Scene 1 · Intermediate
God zag hoe slecht de mensheid op aarde was geworden. Alles wat de mensen dachten en van plan waren, was voortdurend slecht. Het deed God diep verdriet dat hij hen had gemaakt. Hij had er spijt van.
God saw how wicked humankind had become on earth. Everything people thought and planned was continually evil. God was deeply grieved that he had made them. He regretted it.
‘Ik zal de mensen die ik heb geschapen van de aarde wegvagen’, zei hij. ‘Ook de dieren, de dieren die over de grond kruipen en de vogels zullen verdwijnen, want ik heb er spijt van dat ik ze heb gemaakt.’
“I will wipe the people I have created from the earth,” he said. “The animals too, the animals that crawl along the ground, and the birds will disappear, because I regret having made them.”
Maar God was Noach wel goedgezind.
But God looked kindly on Noah.
