14 E será que quando fizer vir nuvens sobre a terra, se deixará ver então meu arco nas nuvens.

15 E me lembrarei do meu pacto, que há entre mim e vós e toda alma vivente de toda carne; e não serão mais as águas por dilúvio para destruir toda carne.

16 E estará o arco nas nuvens, e o verei para me lembrar do pacto perpétuo entre Deus e toda alma vivente, com toda carne que há sobre a terra.

17 Disse, pois, Deus a Noé: Este será o sinal do pacto que estabeleci entre mim e toda carne que está sobre a terra.
