who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In the ark, a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water,
and if ʜᴇ didn’t spare the ancient world, but preserved only eight people including Noah, a herald of righteousness, when ʜᴇ brought a flood on the ungodly world;
By faith Noah, when he was warned about things not yet seen, with reverence he constructed an ark to save his household. Through this, he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
YHWH saw that the wickedness of humanity was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of the human heart was continually only evil.
And yet YHWH will wait, so that ʜᴇ may be gracious to y’all. Hᴇ will rise up to have compassion on y’all. For YHWH is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for ʜɪᴍ.
But God remembered Noah and all the animals and all the livestock that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
