And the Lord smelled a sweet savour, and said: I will no more curse the earth for the sake of man: for the imagination and thought of man's heart are prone to evil from his youth: therefore I will no more destroy every living soul as I have done.

According to my desire I will chastise them: and the nations shall be gathered together against them, when they shall be chastised for their two iniquities.
