Says the Lord,
“That you will call Me1 ‘My Husband,’
And no longer call Me1 ‘My Master,’
And they shall be remembered by their name no more.
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.
Yes, I will betroth you to Me
In righteousness and justice,
In lovingkindness and mercy;
That aI will answer,” says the Lord;
“I will answer the heavens,
And they shall answer the earth.
bAnd I will have mercy on her who had1 not obtained mercy;
Then cI will say to those who were not My people,
‘You are1 My people!’
And they shall say, ‘You are my God!’ ”

Hosea 2:18
Will I make a covenant for them - I will make an agreement between them and the birds, beasts, and reptiles, so that they shall not be injured by those; their flocks shall not be destroyed, nor their crops spoiled. I will also prevent every species of war, that they may no more have the calamities that arise from that source. They shall also be safe from robbers and nightly alarms; for I will make them to lie down in safety.
