Genesis 9:9-16

9“Now behold, 1I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your 2descendants 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.

11I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall 3never again be cut off by the water of the flood, 4neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the earth.”

12God said, “This is 5the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for 6all successive generations;

13I set My 7bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.

14It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud,

15and 8I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and 9never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the 10everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
