Hosea 2:14-20

14“Therefore, behold, I will allure her, 1Bring her into the wilderness And speak 2kindly to her.15Then I will give her her 3vineyards from there, And 4the valley of Achor as a door of hope. And she will 5 6sing there as in the days of her youth, As in the 7day when she came up from the land of Egypt.16It will come about in that day,” declares the Lord, “That you will call Me 8 9Ishi And will no longer call Me 10Baali.17For 11I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, So that they will be 12mentioned by their names no more.18In that day I will also make a covenant for them With the 13beasts of the field, The birds of the sky And the creeping things of the ground. And I will 14 15abolish the bow, the sword and war from the land, And will make them 16lie down in safety.19I will 17betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me in 18righteousness and in justice, In lovingkindness and in compassion,20And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness. Then you will 19know the Lord.
