18. In that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky and the creatures that move along the ground. Bow and sword and battle I will abolish from the land, so that all may lie down in safety.
19. I will betroth you to me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion.
20. I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the Lord.
