Genesis 7:23
And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
KJV
Et delevit omnem substantiam quæ erat super terram, ab homine usque ad pecus, tam reptile quam volucres cæli : et deleta sunt de terra. Remansit autem solus Noë, et qui cum eo erant in arca.
Vulgate
καὶ ἐξήλειψεν πᾶν τὸ ἀνάστεμα ὃ ἦν ἐπὶ προσώπου πάσης τῆς γῆς, ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους καὶ ἑρπετῶν καὶ τῶν πετεινῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· καὶ ἐξηλείφθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς. καὶ κατελείφθη μόνος Νῶε καὶ οἱ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ κιβωτῷ.
LXX
And every living thing was destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only was left, and they that were with him in the ark.

1 passage from patristic writers, Reformers, and church catechisms citing this verse.
And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark. The faith of Noah is here seen in his prompt obedience. The ark is a type of the Church, in which alone salvation is to be found. The flood is a dreadful testimony of the wrath of God against sin, and a warning to all ages that God is the judge of the world.
