Genesis 7:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ And the flood was forty days upon the earth, and the waters increased, and lifted up the ark on high from the earth.

¹⁸ For they overflowed exceedingly: and filled all on the face of the earth: and the ark was carried upon the waters.

¹⁹ And the waters prevailed beyond measure upon the earth: and all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered.
