And the LORD smelled a sweet savour [soothing aroma]; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for [although] the imagination [intent or thought] of man's heart [is] evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
Note that this passage points out the very problem with each of us: The intent or thought of every man's heart is evil from his youth. There is no one on earth, who can escape this. We are ALL evil from our youth. That is why there is nothing YOU can DO to change this. Yes, we can and should attempt every day to live our lives holy and respectable; but without Jesus Christ as your Saviour, you are lost. He redeemed (i.e., substitued) himself for all our sins.
