Genesis 8:20-22

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁰ And Noah built an altar to the Lord and took of every clean [four-footed] animal and of every clean fowl or bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

²¹ When the Lord smelled the pleasing odor [a scent of satisfaction to His heart], the Lord said to Himself, I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the imagination (the strong desire) of man’s heart is evil and wicked from his youth; neither will I ever again smite and destroy every living thing, as I have done.

²² While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
