Genesis 8:19-21

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁹ Every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out ^[a]by their families from the ark.

²⁰ Then Noah built ^(A)an altar to the Lord, and took of every ^(B)clean animal and of every clean bird and offered ^(C)burnt offerings on the altar. ²¹ The Lord ^(D)smelled the soothing aroma; and the Lord said ^[b]to Himself, “I will never again ^(E)curse the ground on account of man, for ^(F)the ^[c]intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth; ^(G)and I will never again ^[d]destroy every living thing, as I have done.
