⁹ You made a limit over which they might not go, so that the earth would never again be covered by them.

¹¹ And I will make my agreement with you; never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters; never again will the waters come over all the earth for its destruction.

¹² And God said, This is the sign of the agreement which I make between me and you and every living thing with you, for all future generations:

¹³ I will put my bow in the cloud and it will be for a sign of the agreement between me and the earth.

¹⁴ And whenever I make a cloud come over the earth, the bow will be seen in the cloud,

¹⁵ And I will keep in mind the agreement between me and you and every living thing; and never again will there be a great flow of waters causing destruction to all flesh.

¹⁰ By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.

¹⁰ Ordering a fixed limit for it, with locks and doors;

¹¹ And said, So far you may come, and no farther; and here the pride of your waves will be stopped?

²² Have you no fear of me? says the Lord; will you not be shaking with fear before me, who have put the sand as a limit for the sea, by an eternal order, so that it may not go past it? and though it is ever in motion, it is not able to have its way; though the sound of its waves is loud, they are not able to go past it.

⁷ He makes the waters of the sea come together in a mass; he keeps the deep seas in store-houses.

⁹ For this is like the days of Noah to me: for as I took an oath that the waters of Noah would never again go over the earth, so have I taken an oath that I will not again be angry with you, or say bitter words to you.
