Wickedness permanent’s pre-flood generations. Although it grieves God to do so, He will act in judgment if human suffering fails to bring repentance. God explains the moral basis of the coming flood to Noah, the single exception during the the generations of depravity. The earth is corrupt and full of violence so God purges it of wicked humanity by means of the flood.
The flood accomplishes God’s purpose of judgment 7: 17 – 24. Humanity is given a new start, through Noah and his family. Saved from destruction by God, the survivors express thanks by sacrificial offerings 8: 1 – 20.
