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!’ ”
