12 God said, “This is the sign of the promise I am giving to you and every living being that is with you for generations to come.
13 I will put my rainbow in the clouds to be a sign of my promise to the earth.
14 Whenever I form clouds over the earth, a rainbow will appear in the clouds.
15 Then I will remember my promise to you and every living animal. Never again will water become a flood to destroy all life.
16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember my everlasting promise to every living animal on earth.”
17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the promise I am making to all life on earth.”
18 Noah’s sons, who came out of the ship, were Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
