Genesis 8:15-22 - The Lord's Promise

¹⁵ And God said to Noah, ¹⁶ Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons' wives. ¹⁷ Take out with you every living thing which is with you, birds and cattle and everything which goes on the earth, so that they may have offspring and be fertile and be increased on the earth. ¹⁸ And Noah went out with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives; ¹⁹ And every beast and bird and every living thing of every sort which goes on the earth, went out of the ark.

²⁰ And Noah made an altar to the Lord, and from every clean beast and bird he made burned offerings on the altar. ²¹ And when the sweet smell came up to the Lord, he said in his heart, I will not again put a curse on the earth because of man, for the thoughts of man's heart are evil from his earliest days; never again will I send destruction on all living things as I have done.

²² While the earth goes on, seed time and the getting in of the grain, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will not come to an end.
