OET (OET-LV) And_ YHWH _he/it_said I_will_wipe DOM the_humankind which I_created from_under the_surface_of the_soil from_humankind unto animal[s] unto creeping_thing[s] and_unto the_bird[s]_of the_heavens if/because I_regret if/because_that I_have_made_them.
OET (OET-RV) so he said, “This humankind that I created, I will completely destroy them from the surface of the ground, along with the animals, and crawling creatures and the birds of the sky, because I regret that I made them.”
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָ֗ה
and=he/it_said YHWH
See how you translated this phrase in verse 3. Also make sure that the way you begin verse 7 fits well with the way you begin verse 6. Alternate translation: [Then he said to himself]
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אֶמְחֶ֨ה
I_will_stroke/rub//erase
Consider whether your language has a similar idiom that would fit well here. Alternate translation: [I will wash away] or [I will blot out] or [I will completely wipe]

DOM the=humankind which/who I_created from=under face/surface_of the=soil
Alternate translation: [all the human beings whom I created, from the surface of the earth]
מֵֽאָדָם֙ עַד־בְּהֵמָ֔ה
from=humankind until cattle/livestock
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [In fact, I will destroy not just all the people, but also all the animals]
עַד־רֶ֖מֶשׂ
until until creeping_(thing)_of
Alternate translation: [and the creatures that move on the ground]
וְעַד־ע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם

Alternate translation: [and all the birds that fly in the air] or [and all the birds]
כִּ֥י נִחַ֖מְתִּי

כִּ֥י עֲשִׂיתִֽם
that/for/because/then/when that/for/because/then/when I_have_made=them
Alternate translation: [that I ever created them]
6:7 wipe . . . from the . . . earth: As Adam and Eve were banished from the garden-sanctuary (3:23), all of humankind would be expunged from God’s good creation.
• every living thing: Human sin had so corrupted the earth that judgment fell on the animals and birds over which they had dominion (see 1:28 and study note). The special role of humans in the created order (1:28-30) means that nature is affected by human moral choices (see 8:1; Job 38:41; Hos 4:3; Rom 8:19-22).
OET (OET-LV) And_ YHWH _he/it_said I_will_wipe DOM the_humankind which I_created from_under the_surface_of the_soil from_humankind unto animal[s] unto creeping_thing[s] and_unto the_bird[s]_of the_heavens if/because I_regret if/because_that I_have_made_them.
OET (OET-RV) so he said, “This humankind that I created, I will completely destroy them from the surface of the ground, along with the animals, and crawling creatures and the birds of the sky, because I regret that I made them.”
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.
