Genesis 9:8-16

8Then God said to Noah and his sons with him,

9“Understand that I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you,

10and with every living creature that is with you — birds, livestock, and all wildlife of the earth that are with you — all the animals of the earth that came out of the ark.

11I establish my covenant with you that never again will every creature be wiped out by floodwaters; there will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”

12And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all future generations:

13I have placed my bow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

14Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds,

15I will remember my covenant between me and you and all the living creatures: water will never again become a flood to destroy every creature.

16The bow will be in the clouds, and I will look at it and remember the permanent covenant between God and all the living creatures on earth.”
