The King James Version Bible

Genesis 9:9-16

  1. And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;

  2. And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

  3. And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

  4. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

  5. I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

  6. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

  7. And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

  8. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
