16. It will be in that day,” says Yahweh, “that you will call me ‘my husband,’ and no longer call me ‘my master.’
17. For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by name.
18. In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creeping things of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down safely.
19. I will betroth you to me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.
20. I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know Yahweh.
21. It will happen in that day, I will respond,” says Yahweh, “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth;
22. and the earth will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they will respond to Jezreel.
23. I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; and I will tell those who were not my people, ‘You are my people;’ and they will say, ‘My God!’”
