1
The mother of Noah was also the daughter of Methuselah for Lamech and his wife had the same father but different mothers.
2
And when Noah was born, his body was full of light, which thing caused great consternation to his father and mother and his father's wives and children and all his house.
3
Moreover, the child stood upon his feet when he had come forth from the womb and his tongue was loosed and he did sing praises unto the Lord saying, I will praise thee,
O Lord, for thou art the source of all power, yea, the wellspring whence it floweth unto the sons of God, and thou art also abounding in wisdom and in great and mighty counsel unto thy servants.
4
Nevertheless, though thou art a God who is long-suffering in judgment, the sins of the children of men have come up before thy face and thy fury hath waxed strong and will be visited with judgments upon the earth.
5
Thy mercies, O Lord, are beyond number, but thou art a God that visiteth wrongdoing upon the children of men when the fullness of their iniquity hath come upon them.
6
Therefore shall the earth be destroyed according to the word of God which cannot fail.
7
For the waters of the flood shall come upon the earth and all things shall perish from before thy face, O Lord.
8
Nevertheless, in thee do we put our trust for in whatsoever thou doest, O Lord, thou hast ever done justly. Amen.
