Genesis 6:12
“God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.”
What does Genesis 6:12 mean?
When God looked at the world in Noah's time, he found it deeply broken. Corruption wasn't just in one place or person—it had spread through all of humanity, affecting how people lived and treated each other. This verse shows God as a witness who sees what's really happening, including the hidden ways people have turned away from goodness and toward harm. It's the moment just before God decides to act, making it both a judgment and a turning point in the story of humanity.
