Genesis 9:5-11

New International Version

⁵ And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting.^(A) I will demand an accounting from every animal.^(B) And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being.^(C)

⁷ As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.”^(F)

⁸ Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: ⁹ “I now establish my covenant with you^(G) and with your descendants after you ¹⁰ and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. ¹¹ I establish my covenant^(H) with you:^(I) Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.^(J)”
