Bible verse
For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and the waters rose and lifted the ark high above the earth.
Genesis 7:17 · BSB
The verses around it, from Genesis 7.
13 On that very day Noah entered the ark, along with his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and his wife, and the three wives of his sons—
14 they and every kind of wild animal, livestock, crawling creature, bird, and winged creature.
15 They came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two of every creature with the breath of life.
16 And they entered, the male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.
17 For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and the waters rose and lifted the ark high above the earth.
18 So the waters continued to surge and rise greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.
19 Finally, the waters completely inundated the earth, so that all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered.
20 The waters rose and covered the mountaintops to a depth of fifteen cubits.
21 And every living thing that moved upon the earth perished—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind.
