Genesis 9:9-17
9“Behold, aI establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you, 10and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark; it is for every beast of the earth. 11 bI establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12And God said, c“This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: 13I have set dmy bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, 15 eI will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember fthe everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”Isaiah 54:7-10
7 gFor a brief moment I deserted you,but with great compassion I will gather you.
8 hIn overflowing anger for a moment
I hid my face from you,
ibut with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”
says the Lord, your Redeemer.
9 “This is like jthe days of Noah ▼
▼Some manuscripts For this is as the waters of Noah
to me:as I swore that the waters of Noah
should no more go over the earth,
so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you,
and will not rebuke you.
10For the mountains may depart
and the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
and lmy covenant of peace shall not be removed,”
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
Hebrews 6:17-18
17So when God desired to show more convincingly to mthe heirs of the promise nthe unchangeable character of his purpose, ohe guaranteed it with an oath, 18so that by two unchangeable things, in which pit is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope qset before us.
