καὶ ἀπέθανεν πᾶσα σὰρξ κινουμένη ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς τῶν πετεινῶν καὶ τῶν κτηνῶν καὶ τῶν θηρίων, καὶ πᾶν ἑρπετὸν κινούμενον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ πᾶς ἄνθρωπος·

The setting

πᾶσα σάρξ, “all flesh,” becomes the chapter's grim refrain (again at v.22-23) — birds, cattle, wild beasts, creeping things, and finally πᾶς ἄνθρωπος, “every human being,” named last and alone in its own clause.
