And when YAHWEH smelled the sweet fragrance of Noah’s offerings, his heart was stirred, and he said, “Never again will I curse the earth because of people, even though the imagination of their hearts are evil from their childhood; nor will I ever again destroy every living creature as I have done. I promise this:
“As long as earth exists
there will always be seasons
of planting and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night.”
