Psalm 89:37
New King James Version
37 It shall be established forever like the moon,
Even like the faithful witness in the sky.” Selah
Jeremiah 31:35-36
New King James Version
35 Thus says the Lord,
(A)Who gives the sun for a light by day,
The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,
Who disturbs (B)the sea,
And its waves roar
(C)(The Lord of hosts is His name):
36 “If (D)those ordinances depart
From before Me, says the Lord,
Then the seed of Israel shall also cease
From being a nation before Me forever.”
Genesis 1:14-18
New King James Version
14 Then God said, “Let there be (A)lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and (B)seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. 16 Then God made two great [a]lights: the (C)greater light to rule the day, and the (D)lesser light to rule the night. He made (E)the stars also. 17 God set them in the firmament of the (F)heavens to give light on the earth, 18 and to (G)rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

13 I set (A)My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 14 It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; 15 and (B)I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember (C)the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”

Isaiah 54:9-10
New King James Version
9 “For this is like the waters of (A)Noah to Me;
For as I have sworn
That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth,
So have I sworn
That I would not be angry with (B)you, nor rebuke you.
10 For (C)the mountains shall depart
And the hills be removed,
(D)But My kindness shall not depart from you,
Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,”
Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
Psalm 72:7

7 In His days the righteous shall flourish,
(A)And abundance of peace,
Until the moon is no more.
