God says quite explicitly in Genesis 6 that he will blot them out "for I am sorry that I made them." It couldn't be any plainer than that Steve. Action, followed by cause. You can certainly suggest that his wiping them out was just, but God is quite clear on his motive here.
Yeah, sure, it says that. Now tell us its significance as part of the biblical narrative.
