8 God said to Noah and to his sons with him:
9 See, I am now establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you
10 and with every living creature that was with you: the birds, the tame animals, and all the wild animals that were with you—all that came out of the ark.
11 I will establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all creatures be destroyed by the waters of a flood; there shall not be another flood to devastate the earth.
12 God said: This is the sign of the covenant that I am making between me and you and every living creature with you for all ages to come:
13 I set my bow in the clouds to serve as a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
