Genesis 9:9-16 — Legacy Standard Bible

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.”
