Hosea 2:16-23 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

16. And it shall be at that day,

17. For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.

18. And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will abolish the bow and the sword and the battle from the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.

19. And I will betroth you unto me forever; yea, I will betroth you unto me in righteousness, and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.

20. I will even betroth you unto me in faithfulness: and you shall know the LORD.

21. And it shall come to pass in that day, I will answer,

22. And the earth shall answer with grain, and wine, and oil; and they shall answer Jezreel.

23. And I will sow her for myself in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them who were not my people, you are my people; and they shall say, you are my God.
