"Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made." Genesis 7:4
The Qbible has that "creature" can be translated as "thing." So God is telling Noah that he's going to destroy, not just the people and the animals, but every living thing from the land. While saying every thing vs every creature may mean the same thing, the connotations of thing make that statement seem more all inclusive, especially with the word used for wipe meaning to "erase." That's a very final judgment.
