⁸Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, ⁹“As for me, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you^{* 10}and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the domestic animals, and every animal of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark.^{b* 11}I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.”^{* 12}God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations:^{* 13}I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.^{* 14}When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, ¹⁵I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.^{* 16}When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”^{* 17}God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
