The rainbow. Never again a reset.
In plain words
After the flood God swears never again to destroy all life by water, and sets the rainbow as the sign. Extermination is retired as a way to win: a restraint God puts on himself, not a comfort for us.
The mechanism
THE OATH — extermination retired, and the restraint is on God, not a comfort for man
