16. “And it shall be, in that day,”Says the Lord,“That you will call Me ‘My Husband,’And no longer call Me ‘My Master,’
17. For I will take from her mouth the names of the Baals,And they shall be remembered by their name no more.
18. In that day I will make a covenant for themWith the beasts of the field,With the birds of the air,And with the creeping things of the ground.Bow and sword of battle I will shatter from the earth,To make them lie down safely.
19. “I will betroth you to Me forever;Yes, I will betroth you to MeIn righteousness and justice,In lovingkindness and mercy;
20. I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness,And you shall know the Lord.
