16 And it was in that day, says Jehovah, thou shalt call me, My husband; and thou shalt no more call to me, My Lord. 17 And I put away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name. 18 And I cut out for them a covenant in that day with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and the creeping things of the earth: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and I caused them to lie down confidently. 19 And I betrothed thee to me forever; and I betrothed thee to me in justice and in judgment, and in kindness and in compassions. 20 And I betrothed thee to me in faithfulness, and thou knewest Jehovah. 21 And it was in that day, I will answer, says Jehovah, I will answer the heavens and they shall answer the earth; 22 And the earth shall answer the grain and the new wine and the new oil; and they shall answer Jezreel. 23 And I sowed her to me in the earth; and I compassionated her Not being compassionated; and I said to Not my people, Thou my people; and they will say, My God.
