5 Consequently Jehovah saw that the badness of man was abundant in the earth and every inclination+ of the thoughts of his heart was only bad all the time.*+

21 And it must occur that when many calamities and distresses will come upon them,+ this song must also answer before them as a witness, because it should not be forgotten out of the mouth of their offspring, for I well know their inclination+ that they are developing today before I bring them into the land about which I have sworn.”*
