Genesis 7:23

Back to Verses

And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

Everything living on the ground was wiped out -- people, animals, insects, and birds in the sky. Only Noah and those with him inside the ark survived.
