9:11 I confirm25 my covenant with you: Never again will all living things26 be wiped out27 by the waters of a flood;28 never again will a flood destroy the earth.”
tn The verb וַהֲקִמֹתִי (vahaqimoti) is a perfect with the vav (ו) consecutive and should be translated with the English present tense, just as the participle at the beginning of the speech was (v. 9). Another option is to translate both forms with the English future tense (“I will confirm”).
