Hosea 2:17-23 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

17. I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by their name.

18. I will make a covenant for them on that day, with the animals of the field, with the birds of the heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground; the bow, the sword, and the war I will abolish from the land, and I will let them lie down in safety.

19. And I will take you as my wife forever; I will take you as a wife for myself in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy.

20. I will take you as my wife in faithfulness, and you will know Yahweh.

21. On that day I will answer, declares Yahweh, I will answer the heavens, and they will answer the earth.

22. And the earth will answer the grain, the wine, and the oil, and they will answer Jezreel.

23. I will sow her for myself in the land; I will have pity on Lo-ruhama; I will say to Lo-ammi, “You are my people,” and he himself will say, “you are my God.”
