Genesis 8:21

Back to Verses

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.

And the Lord enjoyed a good scent and thought to himself, "I won't curse the earth anymore because of people; humans have wicked thoughts from a young age. I also won't destroy all living things like before."
