17 “And as for me, here I am bringing the deluge*+ of waters upon the earth to bring to ruin all flesh in which the force of life+ is active* from under the heavens. Everything that is in the earth will expire.+

9 “This is just as the days of Noah to me.+ Just as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more pass over the earth,+ so I have sworn that I will not become indignant toward you nor rebuke you.+
