Genesis 8:21-22
8:21 And the
Lord smelled the soothing aroma
and said
to himself,
“I will never again curse
the ground because of humankind, even though
the inclination of their minds
is evil from childhood on.
I will never again destroy everything that lives, as I have just done.
8:22 “While the earth continues to exist,
planting time and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
and day and night will not cease.”
