Hosea 2:18-23 ▼

18 And in that day I will cut a covenant for them With the beasts of the field, The birds of the sky, And the creeping things of the ground. And I will break the bow, the sword, and war from the land, And I will make them lie down in security.

19 And I will betroth you to Me forever; Indeed, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice, In lovingkindness and in compassion,

20 And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness. Then you will know Yahweh.

21 “And it will be in that day, that I will answer,” declares Yahweh. “I will answer the heavens, and they will answer the earth,

22 And the earth will answer the grain, the new wine, and the oil, And they will answer Jezreel.

23 And I will sow her for Myself in the land. I will also have compassion on her who had not obtained compassion, And I will say to those who were not My people, ‘You are My people!’ And they will say, ‘You are my God!’”
