Hosea 2:16-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁶ “On that day she will call me her husband,” declares the Lord.
“She will no longer call me her master.^[a]
17 I won’t allow her to say the names of other gods called Baal.
She will never again call out their names.

¹⁸ “On that day I will make an arrangement with the wild animals,
the birds, and the animals that crawl on the ground.
I will destroy all the bows, swords, and weapons of war,
so people can live safely.
