The Hebrew אֵת word does not have a corresponding word in English. In Hebrew, it is a marker of the accusative, i.e. the word following it is the object of the sentence. It only ever occurs in conjunction with nouns associated with the definite article הַ.Genesis 1:1

The godly has perished from the earth, and there is no one upright among mankind; they all lie in wait for blood, and each hunts the other with a net.

The godly have been swept from the land; not one upright man remains. All men lie in wait to shed blood; each hunts his brother with a net.

The godly people have all disappeared; not one honest person is left on the earth. They are all murderers, setting traps even for their own brothers.
