To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

629. Verse 13 And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth 1 is filled with violence before their faces. And behold, I am destroying them together with the earth. 1

'God said' means that it was so. 'The end of all flesh has come before Me' means that the human race would inevitably perish. 'For the earth' is filled with violence' means that the will for good existed no longer. 'Behold, I will destroy them together with the earth 1 ' means that the human race would perish together with the Church.
