9. Nevertheless again in process of time you brought the flood upon those that lived in the world, and destroyed them.
10. And it came to pass that the same hap befell them; like as death was to Adam, so was the flood to these.
11. Nevertheless one of them you left, Noah with his household, even all the righteous men that came of him.
12. And it came to pass, that when they that lived upon the earth began to multiply, they multiplied also children, and peoples, and many nations, and began again to be more ungodly than the first.
13. And it came to pass, when they did wickedly before you, you did choose you one from among them, whose name was Abraham;
14. and him you loved, and to him only you showed the end of the times secretly by night:
15. and made an everlasting covenant with him, promising him that you would never forsake his seed.
16. And to him you gave Isaac, and to Isaac you gave Jacob and Esau. And you did set apart Jacob for yourself, but did put by Esau: and Jacob became a great multitude.
17. And it came to pass, that when you led his seed out of Egypt, you brought them up to the mount Sinai.
18. You bowed the heavens also, and did shake the earth, and movedst the whole world, and made the depths to tremble, and troubled the course of that age.
