So God

So God - created man in his own image, in the image - of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, - and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

**

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply - thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow - thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

***

And it came to pass, when men - began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

*****

For wickedness burneth as the fire:

it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the for-est, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.

Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare - his brother.

And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:

Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;

To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

*****

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

**

. . . and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

*

And God saw - that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,

and that - every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

*****

And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.

*

And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

*****

and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

But the men of Sodom were wicked - and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.
