And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Destruction / Perishing Language

The verse explicitly states that the waters *shall no more* become a flood to destroy all flesh, indicating a cessation of destruction rather than its occurrence. The language is about preventing future destruction, not describing it.
