Genesis 9:9–16

⁹“As for me, behold, I am establishing my covenant with you and with your seed after you, ¹⁰and with every living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and every animal of the earth with you, from all that came out of the ark to all the animals of the earth. ¹¹I am establishing my covenant with you, that never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, nor will there ever be a flood that destroys the earth.” ¹²And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I am making between me and you, and between every living creature that is with you for future generations. ¹³My bow I have set in the clouds, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between me and between the earth. ¹⁴And when I make clouds appear over the earth the bow shall be seen in the clouds. ¹⁵Then^f I will remember my covenant that is between me and you, and between every living creature, with all flesh. And the waters of a flood will never again cause the destruction^g of all flesh. ¹⁶The bow shall be in the clouds, and I will see it, so as to remember the everlasting covenant between God and between every living creature, with all flesh that is upon the earth.”
