God saw that people's hearts were only evil, all of the time (v5). We are not good people needing a bit of affirmation from God. We do not just need a bit of encouragement to raise our self esteem. We are sick and we need a saviour.
Noah wasn't righteous (v9) because of his actions. If he was, then he was Jesus - someone able to follow all of God's law (unwritten at the time). He was righteous because he found favour with God (v8). We are made righteous by what Jesus did, by grace, not because we were the one good person in a crowd of bad people and God recognised us. Everyone was only evil, all the time, and God gave grace.
