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.
