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.
