Genesis 9:11
“And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 9Meaning
God promises that the flood will not again be used to destroy all flesh in the comprehensive manner described by Genesis.
Read carefully
The promise concerns another flood of this kind; it is not a guarantee that floods, storms, or other disasters will never occur locally.
Reflection
The covenant places restraint after judgment, giving the post-flood world a future not governed by fear of endless repetition.
