Genesis 9:8–17

⁸Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,

⁹“As for Me, behold, ^aI establish My covenant with you and with your seed after you;

¹⁰and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.

¹¹“Indeed I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall ^anever again be cut off by the water of the flood, ^band there shall never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”

¹²Then God said, “This is ^athe sign of the covenant which I am giving to be between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for ¹all successive generations;

¹³I put My ^abow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.

¹⁴“And it will be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud,

¹⁵and ^aI will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and ^bnever again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.

¹⁶“So the bow shall be in the cloud, and I will look upon it, to remember the ^aeverlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”

¹⁷And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
