forgive him, or show mercy on him, but brands him
and sends him off into the world for all to see
and know that he was a killer. Next, is the flood.
God sees man as evil in all he does and thinks,
and therefore plans to kill man and all living
beings, save those that he put with Noah, the one
mortal to ...
