21 The smell of the offerings pleased the Lord. He said to himself, “I will never put a curse on the ground again because of human beings. I will not do it even though their hearts are always directed toward evil. Their thoughts are evil from the time they are young. I will never destroy all living things again, as I have just done.

22 “As long as the earth lasts,
    there will always be a time to plant
    and a time to gather the crops.
As long as the earth lasts,
    there will always be cold and heat.
There will always be summer and winter,
    day and night.”
