1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply upon the earth and had begot them daughters,
2 the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair, and took unto them wives, which they best liked among them all.
3 And the LORD said, "My spirit shall not always strive with man, for they are flesh. Nevertheless I will give them yet space, a hundred and twenty years."
4 There were tyrants in the world in those days. For after that the children of God had gone in unto the daughters of men and had begotten them children, the same children were the mightiest of the world and men of renown.
5 And when the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was increased upon the earth, and that all the imagination and thoughts of his heart was only evil continually,
6 he repented that he had made man upon the earth and sorrowed in his heart.
7 And said, "I will destroy mankind which I have made, from off the face of the earth: both man, beast, worm and fowl of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them."
8 But yet Noah found grace in the sight of the LORD.
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man and uncorrupt in his time, and walked with God.
10 And Noah begat three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.
11 And the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and was full of mischief.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and lo it was corrupt: for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 Then said God to Noah, "The end of all flesh is come before me, for the earth is full of their mischief. And lo, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make thee an ark of pine tree, and make chambers in the ark, and pitch it, within and without, with pitch.
15 And of this fashion shalt thou make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, and the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 A window shalt thou make above in the ark. And within a cubit compass shalt thou finish it. And the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side of it: and thou shalt make it with three lofts — one above another.
17 For behold, I will bring in a flood of water upon the earth to destroy all flesh from under heaven, wherein breath of life is, so that all that is in the earth shall perish.
18 But I will make mine covenant with thee, that both thou shalt come into the ark and thy sons, thy wife and thy sons' wives with thee.
19 "And of all that liveth, whatsoever flesh it be, shalt thou bring into the ark, of every thing a pair, to keep them alive with thee.
20 And male and female see that they be, of birds in their kind, and of beasts in their kind, and of all manner of worms of the earth in their kind: a pair of every thing shall come unto thee to keep them alive.
21 And take unto thee of all manner of meat that may be eaten and lay it up in store by thee, that it may be meat both for thee and for them."
22 And Noah did according to all that God commanded him.

Revelation 18:1-24
1 And after that I saw another angel come from heaven, having great power, and the earth was lightened with his brightness.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice saying, "Great Babylon is fallen is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of all foul spirits, and a cage of all unclean and hateful birds,
3 for all nations have drunken of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and her merchants are waxed rich of the abundance of her pleasures."
4 And I heard another voice from heaven say, "Come away from her, my people, that ye be not partakers in her sins, that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins are gone up to heaven, and God hath remembered her wickedness.
6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and give her double according to her works. And pour in double to her in the same cup which she filled unto you.
7 And as much as she glorified herself and lived wantonly, so much pour ye in for her of punishment, and sorrow, for she said in her heart, 'I sit, being a queen and am no widow and shall see no sorrow.'
8 Therefore shall her plagues come at one day; death, and sorrow, and hunger, and she shall be burnt with fire: for strong is the Lord God which judgeth her.
9 And the kings of the earth shall beweep her and wail over her, which have committed fornication with her, and have lived wantonly with her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 and shall stand afar off, for fear of her punishment, saying, 'Alas, Alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city: For at one hour is her judgment come.'
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and wail in themselves, for no man will buy their ware any more,
12 the ware of gold and silver, and precious stones, neither of pearl, and raynes, and purple, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and of iron,
13 and cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and bodies; and souls of men.
14 And the apples that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee. And all things which were dainty, and had in price, are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more.
15 The merchants of these things which were waxed rich, shall stand afar off from her, for fear of the punishment of her, weeping and wailing,
16 and saying, 'Alas alas, that great city, that was clothed in raynes, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stone, and pearls:
17 for at one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every ship governor, and all they that occupied ships, and shipmen which work in the sea, stood afar off;
18 and cried, when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, "What city is like unto this great city?'
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping, and wailing, and said, 'Alas, Alas, that great city wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea, by the reason of her costliness, for at one hour is she made desolate.'
20 Rejoice over her thou heaven, and ye holy apostles, and prophets: for God hath given your judgment on her."
21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, "With such violence shall that great city Babylon be cast, and shall be found no more.
22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more in thee: and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee, and the sound of a mill shall be heard no more in thee,
23 and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride, shall be heard no more in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth. And with thine enchantment were deceived all nations:
24 and in her was found the blood of the prophets, and of the saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."
Revelation 17:1-18
1 And there came one of the seven angels, which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, "Come, I will show thee the judgment of the great whore, that sitteth upon many waters,
2 with whom the kings of the earth have committed whoredom, and the inhabiters of the earth are drunken with the wine of her fornication."
3 And he carried me away into the wilderness in the spirit. And I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet beast full of names of blasphemy, which had ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold, precious stone, and pearls, and had a cup of gold in her hand, full of abominations, and filthiness of her fornication.
5 And in her forehead was a name written, a mystery: "Great Babylon, the mother of whoredom and abominations of the earth."
6 And I saw the wife drunken with the blood of saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with great marvel.
7 And the angel said unto me, "Wherefore marvellest thou? I will show thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that beareth her, which hath seven heads, and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou seest, was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and shall go into perdition, and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder — whose names are not written in the book of life from he beginning of the world — when they behold the beast that was, and is not.
9 And here is a mind that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth:
10 they are also seven kings. Five are fallen, and one is, and another is not yet come. When he cometh he must continue a space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, is even the eighth, and is one of the seven, and shall go into destruction.
12 And the ten horns which thou seest, are ten kings, which have received no kingdom, but shall receive power as kings at one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall fight with the lamb, and the lamb shall overcome them: For he is Lord of Lords, and King of Kings: and they that are on his side, are called, and chosen, and faithful."
15 And he said unto me, "The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are people, and folk, and nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns, which thou sawest upon the beast, are they that shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate, and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts, to fulfil his will, and to do with one consent, for to give her kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Revelation 21:8
8 But the fearful and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
Genesis 10:1-32
1 These are the generations of the sons of Noah: of Shem, Ham and Japheth, which begat them children after the flood.

3 And the sons of Gomer were: Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah.

6 The sons of Ham were: Cush, Mizraim, Phut and Canaan.
7 The sons of Cush: were Seva, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabteca. And the sons of Raamah were: Sheba, and Dedan.
8 Cush also begot Nimrod, which began to be mighty in the earth:
9 He was a mighty hunter in the sight of the LORD, whereof came the proverb "he is as Nimrod, that mighty hunter in the sight of the LORD."
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar:
11 Out of that land came Assyria, and built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah. That is a great city.
13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
14 Pathrusim and Casluhim: from whence came the Philistines, and the Caphthorines.
15 Canaan also begat Sidon his eldest son and Heth,
16 Jebusi, Amori, Girgosi,
17 Hivi, Arki, Sini,
18 Arvadi, Zemari and Hamathi. And afterward sprang the kindreds of the Canaanites.
19 And the coasts of the Canaanites were from Sidon till thou come to Gerar and to Gaza, and till thou come to Sodom, Gomorrah, Adma, Zeboiim: even unto Lasha.
20 These were the children of Ham in their kindreds, tongues, lands and nations.
21 And Shem the father of all the children of Eber and the eldest brother of Japheth, begat children also.
22 And his sons were: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud and Aram.
23 And the children of Aram were: Uz, Hul, Gether and Mash.
24 And Arpachshad begat Shelah, and Sheleh begat Eber.

26 Joktan begat Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,
27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,
28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,
29 Ophir, Havilah and Jobab. All these are the sons of Joktan.
30 And the dwelling of them was from Mesha until thou come unto Sephar, a mountain of the east land.
31 These are the sons of Shem in their kindreds, languages, countries and nations.
32 These are the kindreds of the sons of Noah, in their generations and nations. And of these came the people that were in the world after the flood.
Genesis 10:8
8 Cush also begot Nimrod, which began to be mighty in the earth:
Genesis 11:1-32
1 And all the world was of one tongue and one language.
2 And as they came from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and there they dwelled.
3 And they said, one to another, "Come on, let us make brick and burn it with fire." So brick was their stone and slime was their mortar.
4 And they said, "Come on, let us build us a city and a tower, that the top may reach unto heaven. And let us make us a name, for peradventure we shall be scattered abroad over all the earth."
5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the children of Adam had built.
6 And the LORD said, "See, the people is one and have one tongue among them all: And this have they begun to do, and will not leave off from all that they have purposed to do.
7 Come on, let us descend and mingle their tongue even there, that one understand not what another sayeth."
8 Thus the LORD scattered them from thence upon all the earth. And they left off to build the city.
9 Wherefore the name of it is called Babel, because that the LORD there confounded the tongue of all the world; and because that the LORD, from thence, scattered them abroad upon all the earth.
10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was a hundred years old and begat Arpachshad two years after the flood.
11 And Shem lived, after he had begot Arpachshad, five hundred years and begat sons and daughters.
12 And Arpachshad lived thirty five years and begat Shelah,
13 and lived, after he had begot Shelah, four hundred years and three and begat sons and daughters.
14 And Shelah was thirty years old and begat Eber,
15 and lived, after he had begot Eber, four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
16 When Eber was thirty four years old, he begat Peleg,
17 and lived, after he had begot Peleg, four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
18 And Peleg when he was thirty years old begat Reu,
19 and lived after he had begot Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
20 And Reu, when he had lived thirty two years, begat Serug,
21 and lived after he had begot Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
22 And when Serug was thirty years old, he begat Nahor,
23 and lived, after he had begot Nahor, two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
24 And Nahor, when he was twenty nine years old, begat Terah,
25 and lived, after he had begot Terah, a hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
26 And when Terah was seventy years old, he begat Abram, Nahor and Haran.
27 And these are the generations of Terah. Terah begat Abram, Nahor and Haran. And Haran begat Lot.
28 And Haran died before Terah his father, in the land where he was born, at Ur in Chaldea.
29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives. Abram's wife was called Sarai. And Nahor's wife, Milcah the daughter of Haran; which was father of Milcah and of Iscah.
30 But Sarai was barren and had no child.
31 Then took Terah: Abram his son, and Lot his son Haran's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law his son Abram's wife. And they went with him from Ur in Chaldea, to go into the land of Canaan. And they came to Haran and dwelled there.
32 And when Terah was two hundred years old and five he died in Haran.
