17 For ^aI 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 ^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. ‡

20 I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness,
And ^ayou shall know the Lord. ‡

21 “It shall come to pass in that day
That ^aI will answer,” says the Lord;
“I will answer the heavens,
And they shall answer the earth. ‡
