21 The Lord (A)smelled the soothing aroma, and the Lord said [a]to Himself, “I will never again (B)curse the ground on account of man, for (C)the [b]intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth; (D)and I will never again [c]destroy every living thing, as I have done.

22 While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
(E)Summer and winter,
And (F)day and night
Shall not cease.”
