9 “Behold, ^zI establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you, 10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark; it is for every beast of the earth.

12 And God said, ^b“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 ^cmy bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

15 ^dI 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 ^ethe 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.”
