In Genesis 9, God blesses Noah and his family , sends them off to fill the earth again, lets them know that He is now providing the animals also for their food, and gives them a covenant that He will never again destroy the earth with a flood. Next, God instructs them about how to eat animals in an acceptable manner, never consuming them with their "lifeblood" still in them. But following that , God says that He "will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man", since "in the image of God has God made man". Man is accountable to God's justice for the life of his fellow man.
Later in the chapter, there is a brief account of a disgraceful moment in Noah's life, when he once "became drunk with wine ... and lay naked in his tent". Even to Noah, who "consistently followed God's will and enjoyed a close fellowship with God" applies the Lord's decree that "every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood".
