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