Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us (Genesis 1:26; NLT).
The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread; they never call on the Lord (Psalm 14:2-4; NIV).
The Lord was sorry he had ever made them and put them on the earth. It broke his heart (Genesis 6:6; NLT).

Lord,
In your deepest heart of hearts,
Do you regret creating us, your people,
Because of our corruption
And our selfishness?
Lord,
In your deepest heart of hearts,
Do you regret creating us, your people,
Because of our destructiveness
And ignorance?
Lord,
In your deepest heart of hearts,
Do you regret creating us, your people,
Because of our violence
And our inhumanity?
