God’s Covenant with Creation

²⁰ Then Noah built an ^(A)altar to the Lord, and took of ^(B)every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered ^(C)burnt offerings on the altar. ²¹ And the Lord smelled ^(D)a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart, “I will never again ^(E)curse the ground for man’s sake, although the ^(F)imagination^[a] of man’s heart is evil from his youth; ^(G)nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.
