Eternal One: ⁹ Look, for I am now going to make a pact, a special covenant, with you and all your descendants. ¹⁰ This covenant also extends to every living creature in the world—the birds, the domesticated animals, and every wild animal on the earth—as many as emerged with you from the ark. ¹¹ As part of this covenant, I promise you I will never again wipe out all living flesh by means of flooding waters. Never again will a flood destroy the earth. ¹² As a sign of this perpetual covenant I now make between Me and you and all living creatures along with you, as well as all future generations, ¹³ I will hang a rainbow among the clouds. It will serve as a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. ¹⁴ And from now on, whenever a cloud rises over the earth and a rainbow appears in the sky, ¹⁵ I will remember My covenant—My promise I have made between Me and you and all living creatures. No waters will ever again turn into a flood powerful enough to destroy all living creatures. ¹⁶ When that rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember this eternal covenant I have made with all living creatures.

¹⁷ Look for the rainbow, and remember My promise. With it I sign the covenant I have made between Me and all the living creatures residing on the earth.
