Genesis 8:20-22 (The Message)
View In My Bible
20
Noah built an altar to God. He selected clean animals and birds from every species and offered them as burnt-offerings on the altar.
21
God smelled the sweet fragrance and thought to himself, "I'll never again curse the ground because of people. I know they have this bent toward evil from an early age, but I'll never again kill off everything living as I've just done.
22
For as long as Earth lasts, planting and harvest, cold and heat, Summer and winter, day and night will never stop."
