Genesis
6:6 ISV
Then
The Lord regretted that He had made human beings on the earth,
and He was deeply grieved about that.
Numbers

is not a man, that He should lie; neither The Son Of Man, that He

spoken, and shall He not make it good?
I
Samuel 15:29 NLT
And
He who is The Glory Of Israel will not lie, nor will He change His
mind, for He is not human that He should change His mind!”
Malachi
3:6 KJV
For
I am The Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not
consumed.
Acts
15:18 KJV
Known
unto God are all His works from the beginning of the world.
Nothing, but nothing takes God by surprise! Our God, knows the end
from the beginning. So, begs the question, why, then would He ever
create mankind? The answer to that question is, when one goes diamond
hunting, he is willing to go through a mountain of dirt, to find one
rare and valuable gem, and that gem was Noah.
James
1:17 KJV
Every
good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from
The Father Of Lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of
turning.
The people of earth, had gone far from the love of Almighty God,
deep, deep into evil. God had not changed, but the people had given
themselves head to foot, to the enemy of their souls.
When a people move from the love and mercy of God, they move into His
judgment.
Genesis 6:5-8 ISV (Human Corruption)
God Decides to Destroy the World
5
The Lord saw that human evil was growing more and more throughout the
earth, with every inclination of people’s thoughts becoming only
evil on a continuous basis.
6
Then The Lord regretted that He had made human beings on the
earth, and He was deeply grieved about that.
7 So
The Lord said, “I will annihilate these human beings whom I’ve
created from the earth, including people, animals, crawling things,
and flying creatures, because I’m grieving that I made them.”
8
However, The Lord was pleased with Noah.
Well, we know the rest of that story, and if you don't read Genesis
chapters 7 and 8.
