Verse 21

And the LORD{H3068} smelled{H7306}{(H8686)} a sweet{H5207} savour{H7381}; and the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8799)} in{H413} his heart{H3820}, I will not again{H3254}{(H8686)} curse{H7043}{(H8763)} the ground{H127} any more for man's{H120} sake{H5668}; for the imagination{H3336} of man's{H120} heart{H3820} is evil{H7451} from his youth{H5271}; neither will I again{H3254}{(H8686)} smite{H5221}{(H8687)} any more every thing living{H2416}, as I have done{H6213}{(H8804)}.
