6:11 filled with violence. In order to be “filled” with violence, the earth by this time had become filled with people.

6:13 with the earth. God did not promise to destroy man from the earth, but with the earth. The physical earth-system itself, as man’s home and dominion, must share in his judgment. The Flood obviously was to be global and cataclysmic, not local or tranquil, as many modern compromising Christians have sought to interpret it.
