Hosea 2:16-23 (Revised Standard Version)
View In My Bible
16
"And in that day, says the LORD, you will call me, 'My husband,' and no longer will you call me, 'My Ba'al.'
17
For I will remove the names of the Ba'als from her mouth, and they shall be mentioned by name no more.
18
And I will make for you a covenant on that day with the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the creeping things of the ground; and I will abolish the bow, the sword, and war from the land; and I will make you lie down in safety.
19
And I will betroth you to me for ever; I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love, and in mercy.
20
I will betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know the LORD.
21
"And in that day, says the LORD, I will answer the heavens and they shall answer the earth;
22
and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil, and they shall answer Jezreel;
23
and I will sow him for myself in the land. And I will have pity on Not pitied, and I will say to Not my people, 'You are my people'; and he shall say 'Thou art my God.'"
