Genesis 8:20-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ And Noe built an altar unto the Lord: and taking of all cattle and fowls that were clean, offered holocausts upon the altar.

²¹ And the Lord smelled a sweet savour, and said: I will no more curse the earth for the sake of man: for the imagination and thought of man's heart are prone to evil from his youth: therefore I will no more destroy every living soul as I have done.

²² All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, shall not cease.
