God saw how much evil people were doing on earth. All their thoughts and intentions were constantly directed only toward evil. He regretted having made people, and His heart filled with deep sorrow.

“I will destroy the people I have created,” God said. “Along with them I will destroy the animals, the crawling creatures, and the birds, because I regret having made them.”
