No Righteous People in Noah's Time?

In Genesis 6, Douay Rheims, the word "righteous" does not occur at all, but its synonym "just" occurs exactly once.

The chapter says Noe was righteous or (DR) just, not that no one else was.

What about

the wickedness of men was great on the earth, and that all the thought of their heart was bent upon evil at all times

then?

First, the general society is described.

Second, Hebrew has, as apparent from interlinear, "every intent of the thoughts of his heart" the word "intent" ... meaning also mind.

Can a just person have a mind bent on evil? Well, I just saw a Catholic argue randonautica is demonic, and another that google translate had gone demonic when it came to Latin to English and a certain cut up and tweak on Balenciaga.

Were these two Catholics evil? No. Was their mind bent on evil, as on seeing evil? Yes.

The situation may not have been "no one was" (socially) "just" but more like "even those who were, had little time to praise God and express love for their fellow men, due to thinking on the evils of evil men so much" ... and apart from Keaton Halley giving a theologically wrong note in saying "no one is just before God," it is more like "no one" (except Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary) "was just before God all of his life," it is not the inner evil of people involved in mortal sin that is meant, it is social evil, by which sinners oppress others, both sinners and righteous.

The fact you live near a bully means, you have to take the bully into account in all that you do, even if you aren't a bully yourself. This, rather than non-existance, was the situation of the righteous before the Flood./HGL
