Hosea 2:18-20
New King James Version
18 In that day I will make a (A)covenant for them
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 (B)I will shatter from the earth,
To make them (C)lie down safely.
19 “I will betroth you to Me forever;
Yes, I will betroth you to Me
In righteousness and justice,
In lovingkindness and mercy;
20 I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness,
And (D)you shall know the Lord.
