Genesis 9:12-17
Holman Christian Standard Bible
12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant(A) I am making between Me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all future generations: 13 I have placed My bow in the clouds,(B) and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 14 Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember My covenant(C) between Me and you and all the living creatures:[a] water will never again become a flood to destroy every creature. 16 The bow will be in the clouds, and I will look at it and remember the everlasting covenant(D) between God and all the living creatures[b] on earth.” 17 God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have confirmed between Me and every creature on earth.”

New International Version
12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant(A) I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:(B) 13 I have set my rainbow(C) 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(D) appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant(E) between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.(F) 16 Whenever the rainbow(G) appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant(H) 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) I have established between me and all life on the earth.”
