16 On that day—oracle of the LORD— You shall call me “My husband,” and you shall never again call me “My baal.” 17 I will remove from her mouth the names of the Baals; they shall no longer be mentioned by their name. 18 I will make a covenant for them on that day, with the wild animals, With the birds of the air, and with the things that crawl on the ground. Bow and sword and warfare I will destroy from the land, and I will give them rest in safety. 19 I will betroth you to me forever: I will betroth you to me with justice and with judgment, with loyalty and with compassion; 20 I will betroth you to me with fidelity, and you shall know the LORD.
