The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain… God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. Genesis 6:6 & 6:12
This is the first time the phrase “God saw” has been used since Genesis 1. Back in Genesis 1 everything God saw was good; how dramatically the tide has turned! God looks now and sees the impact of sin upon his creation and is grieved. “The Fall” as Christians call it, is more of a downward spiral into sin. Noah was the 9th generation after Adam. Sin left unchecked spirals out of control.
