18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them With the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, And with the creeping things of the ground; And I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, And will make them to lie down safely. 19 And I will betroth thee unto Me for ever; Yea, I will betroth thee unto Me in righteousness, and in justice, And in lovingkindness, and in compassion. 20 And I will betroth thee unto Me in faithfulness; And thou shalt know the LORD. 21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will respond, saith the LORD, I will respond to the heavens, And they shall respond to the earth; 22 And the earth shall respond to the corn, and the wine, and the oil; And they shall respond to Jezreel. 23 And I will sow her unto Me in the land; And I will have compassion upon her that had not obtained compassion; And I will say to them that were not My people: 'Thou art My people'; And they shall say: 'Thou art my God.'
