16 “And it shall be, in that day,” declares יהוה, “that you call Me ‘My Husband,’ and no longer call Me ‘My Ba‛al.’
17 “And I shall remove the names of the Ba‛als from her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
18 “And in that day I shall make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping creatures of the ground, when bow, and sword, and battle I break from the earth. And I shall make them lie down in safety.
19 “And I shall take you as a bride unto Me forever, and take you as a bride unto Me in righteousness, and in right-ruling, and kindness and compassion.
20 “And I shall take you as a bride unto Me in trustworthiness, and you shall know יהוה.
21 “And it shall be in that day that I answer,” declares יהוה, “that I answer the heavens, and they answer the earth,
22 and the earth answer the grain and the new wine and the oil, and they answer Yizre‛ĕl.
