GENESIS 8:15-20
15 Then God said to Noah, 16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife and
your sons and their wives. 17 Bring out every kind of living creature that is
with you - the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the
ground - so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in
number on it.” 18 So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and
his sons’ wives. 19 All the animals and all the creatures that move along the
ground and all the birds - everything that moves on land - came out of the ark,
one kind after another. 20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking
some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on
it.

GENESIS 8:21-22
21 The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again
will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of
the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all
living creatures, as I have done. 22 “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and
harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”
GENESIS 9:7-11
7 As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and
increase upon it.” 8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: 9 “I now
establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you 10 and
with every living creature that was with you - the birds, the livestock and all
the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you - every living
creature on earth. 11 I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life
be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to
destroy the earth.”
GENESIS 9:12-15
12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me
and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to
come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the
covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth
and the rainbow appears in the clouds 15 I will remember my covenant between
me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters
become a flood to destroy all life.
GENESIS 9:16-17
16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the
everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the
earth.” 17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have
established between me and all life on the earth.”

GENESIS 9:12-15 NASB
12 God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me
and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive
generations; 13 I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a
covenant between Me and the earth. 14 "It shall come about, when I bring a
cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, 15 and I will
remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living
creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy
all flesh.JOB 6:4
4 The arrows of the Almighty are in me, my spirit drinks in their poison;
God’s terrors are marshalled against me.DEUTERONOMY 32:23-24]
23 “I will heap calamities on them and spend my arrows against them. 24 I
will send wasting famine against them, consuming pestilence and deadly
plague; I will send against them the fangs of wild beasts, the venom of vipers
that glide in the dust.2 PETER 3:3-7 NLT
3 Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will
come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. 4 They will say,
“What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the
times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was
first created.” 5 They deliberately forget that God made the heavens by the
word of his command, and he brought the earth out from the water and
surrounded it with water. 6 Then he used the water to destroy the ancient
world with a mighty flood. 7 And by the same word, the present heavens and
earth have been stored up for fire. They are being kept for the day of
judgment, when ungodly people will be destroyed.
