584. Verse 5. And Jehovah saw that the evil of man was multiplied in the earth, and that all the imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil every day. “Jehovah saw that the evil of man was multiplied on the earth” signifies that there began to be no will of good; “all the imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil every day” signifies that there was no perception of truth and good.
