← Genesis 8:20	Genesis 8:21 (KJV)	Genesis 8:22 →
And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.	And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart [is] evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.	While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
