16 In that day —this is the Lord’s declaration —you will call Me, “My husband,” and no longer call Me, “My Baal.”
17 For I will remove the names of the Baalsfrom her mouth;they will no longer be remembered by their names.
18 On that day I will make a covenant for themwith the wild animals, the birds of the sky,and the creatures that crawl on the ground. I will shatter bow, sword,and weapons of war in the land and will enable the people to rest securely.
19 I will take you to be My wife forever. I will take you to be My wife in righteousness,justice, love, and compassion.
20 I will take you to be My wife in faithfulness,and you will know Yahweh.
21 On that day I will respond —this is the Lord’s declaration.I will respond to the sky,and it will respond to the earth.
22 The earth will respond to the grain, the new wine, and the oil,and they will respond to Jezreel.
