And went after her lovers;
But Me she forgot,” says the Lord.

And speak1 comfort to her.

Says the Lord,
“That you will call Me1 ‘My Husband,’
And no longer call Me1 ‘My Master,’

18 In that day I will make a acovenant for them
With the beasts of the field,
With the birds of the air,
And with the creeping things of the ground.
Bow and sword of battle bI will shatter from the earth,
To make them clie down safely.
