7:11 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 1 burst open and the floodgates of the heavens 2 were opened.
7:17 The flood engulfed the earth for forty days. As the waters increased, they lifted the ark and raised it above the earth. 7:18 The waters completely overwhelmed 3 the earth, and the ark floated 4 on the surface of the waters. 7:19 The waters completely inundated 5 the earth so that even 6 all the high mountains under the entire sky were covered. 7:20 The waters rose more than twenty feet 7 above the mountains. 8 7:21 And all living things 9 that moved on the earth died, including the birds, domestic animals, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all humankind. 7:22 Everything on dry land that had the breath of life 10 in its nostrils died. 7:23 So the Lord 11 destroyed 12 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. 13 They were wiped off the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark survived. 14 7:24 The waters prevailed over 15 the earth for 150 days.
24:1 Now 20 as Jesus was going out of the temple courts and walking away, his disciples came to show him the temple buildings. 21
3:19 For the fate of humans 22 and the fate of animals are the same:
As one dies, so dies the other; both have the same breath.
There is no advantage for humans over animals,
for both are fleeting.
3:20 Both go to the same place,
both come from the dust,
and to dust both return.
3:2 A time to be born, 23 and a time to die; 24
a time to plant, and a time to uproot what was planted;
2:5 I designed 25 royal gardens 26 and parks 27 for myself,
and I planted all kinds of fruit trees in them.
