4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain on the earth 40 days and 40 nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.”

4 ἔτι γὰρ ἡμερῶν ἑπτὰ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ὑετὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας καὶ τεσσαράκοντα νύκτας· καὶ ἐξαλείψω πᾶσαν τὴν ἐξανάστασιν, ἣν ἐποίησα ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς γῆς. 4 ἔτι γὰρ ἡμερῶν ἑπτὰ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ὑετὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας καὶ τεσσαράκοντα νύκτας καὶ ἐξαλείψω πᾶν τὸ ἀνάστημα, ὃν ἐποίησα, ἀπὸ προσώπου πάσης τῆς γῆς.
