Hosea 2:16-20
16In that day,” declares the LORD, “you will call Me ‘my Husband,’1 and no longer call Me ‘my Master.’217For I will remove from her lips the names of the Baals; no longer will their names be invoked.
18On that day I will make a covenant for themwith the beasts of the field and the birds of the airand the creatures that crawl on the ground.And I will abolish bow and swordand battle in the land,and will make them lie down in safety.19So I will betroth you to Me forever;I will betroth you in righteousness and justice,in loving devotion3 and compassion.20And I will betroth you in faithfulness,and you will know the LORD.”
