17 I won’t allow her to say the names of other gods called Baal.She will never again call out their names.
18 “On that day I will make an arrangement with the wild animals,the birds, and the animals that crawl on the ground.I will destroy all the bows, swords, and weapons of war,so people can live safely.
19 “Israel, I will make you my wife forever.I will be honest and faithful to you.I will show you my love and compassion.
20 I will be true to you, my wife.Then you will know the Lord.
21 “On that day I will answer your ⌊prayers⌋,” declares the Lord.“I will speak to the sky,it will speak to the earth,
