Hosea 2:18-20
Contemporary English Version

18 And I will agree to let you live in peace—you will no longer be attacked by wild animals and birds or by weapons of war. 19 I will accept you as my wife forever, and instead of a bride price[a] I will give you justice, fairness, love, kindness, 20 and faithfulness. Then you will truly know who I am.
