Genesis 8:20-22
Legacy Standard Bible
Yahweh’s Covenant with Noah
20 Then Noah built (A)an altar to Yahweh and took of every (B)clean animal and of every clean bird and offered (C)burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And Yahweh (D)smelled the [a]soothing aroma; and Yahweh said [b]to Himself, “I will never again (E)curse the ground because of man, for (F)the [c]intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth; (G)and I will never again strike down every living thing as I have done.
22 While all the days of the earth remain,
Seedtime and harvest,
And cold and heat,
And (H)summer and winter,
And (I)day and night
Shall not cease.”
