וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהֹוָ֗ה לֹֽא־יָד֨וֹן רוּחִ֤י בָֽאָדָם֙ לְעֹלָ֔ם בְּשַׁגַּ֖ם ה֣וּא בָשָׂ֑ר וְהָי֣וּ יָמָ֔יו מֵאָ֥ה וְעֶשְׂרִ֖ים שָׁנָֽה׃
And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive on account of man, for that he also is flesh: and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
וַאֲמַר מֵימְרֵיהּ דַיְיָ לָא יִתְדְנוּן דָרַיָא דַעֲתִידִין לְמֵיקָם מִן בָּתַר דָרָא דְמַבּוּלָא לְמוֹבְדָא לְמִשְׁתֵּיצֵי וּלְמִימְחָא גְמִירָא הֲלָא רוּחִי יְהָבִית בִּבְנֵי אֱנָשָׁא מִן בִּגְלַל דְאִינוּן בִּשְרָא וְעוֹבָדֵיהוֹן עוֹבָדִין בִּישִׁין הָא יְהָבִית לְהוֹן אַרְכָּא מְאָה וְעַשְרִין שְׁנִין דִילְמָא דְיַעֲבְדוּן תְּתוּבָא וְלָא עֲבָדוּ:
And the Word of the Lord said, The generations which are to arise shall not be judged after (the manner of) the generation of the deluge, (which is) to be destroyed, and exterminated, and finally blotted out. Have I not imparted My Spirit to the sons of men, because they are flesh, that they may work good works? But they do works of evil. Behold, I have given them a prolongment of a hundred and twenty years, that they may work repentance; but they have not done it.
וַאֲמַר יְיָ בְּמֵימְרֵיהּ לָא יִתְדְנוּן כָּל דָרַיָא בִּשַׁיָא דַעֲתִידִין לְמֵיקָם בְּסֵדֶר דַיָנַיָא דְדָרָא דְמַבּוּלָא לְמוֹבְדָא וּלְמִשְׁתֵּיצֵי מִגוֹ עַלְמָא הֲלָא יְהָבִית רוּחַ קָדְשִׁי בְּהוֹם מִן בִּגְלַל דִי יַעֲבְדוּן עוֹבָדִין טָבִין וְהָא אַבְאִישׁוּ עוֹבָדֵיהוֹן הָא יְהָבִית לְהוֹן אַרְכָּא מְאָה וְעַשְרִין שְׁנִין מִן בִּגְלַל דְיַעֲבְדוּן תְּתוּבָא וְלָא עָבָדוּ
And the Lord said by His Word, All the generations of the wicked which are to arise shall not be purged after the order of the judgments of the generation of the deluge, which shall be destroyed and exterminated from the midst of the world. Have I not imparted My Holy Spirit to them, (or, placed My Holy Spirit in them,) that they may work good works? And, behold, their works are wicked. Behold, I will give them a prolongment of a hundred and twenty years, that they may work repentance, and not perish.
