Hosea 2:18-20

International Children’s Bible

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.
¹⁹ And I will make you my promised bride forever.
    I will be good and fair.
    I will show you my love and mercy.
²⁰ I will be true to you as my promised bride.
    Then you will accept that I am the Lord.
