Hosea 2:16-18
International Children’s Bible
16 The Lord says, “Then she will call me ‘my husband.’
She will no longer call me ‘my baal.’[a]
17 I will never let her say the names of Baal again.
Then people won’t use their names anymore.
18 At that time I will make an agreement for them.
It will be with the wild animals, the birds and the crawling things.
I will remove from the land
the bow and the sword and the weapons of war.
Then my people will live in safety.
