Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וַתִּשָּׁחֵ֥ת הָאָ֖רֶץ
and=it(f)_was_decaying/corrupt the=earth/land
The phrase the earth is often used in the Bible to refer to all the people on the earth. Consider whether your language can do the same thing, or whether it is necessary to make that implied information explicit. Alternate translation: “Now the people of the earth had become corrupt”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
וַתִּמָּלֵ֥א הָאָ֖רֶץ חָמָֽס
and=she/it_was_filled the=earth/land violence/cruelty
This clause forms a parallelism with the previous clause in order to emphasize how evil the people on the earth had become. The two clauses are different enough from each other that, if possible, it is best to keep both parts of the parallelism in your translation. Also be consistent with how you translated the earth earlier in this verse. Alternate translation: “and they had filled the earth with their lawlessness.” or “and all over the earth they were doing lawless things.”
6:11-13 See 6:5-7.
• violence (Hebrew khamas): Murder had especially corrupted the line of Cain (4:8, 23-24).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
