16 “And it shall be, in that day,”
Says the Lord,
That you will call Me [a]‘My Husband,’
And no longer call Me [b]‘My Master,’
17 For (A)I will take from her mouth the names of the Baals,
And they shall be remembered by their name no more.
18 In that day I will make a (B)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 (C)I will shatter from the earth,
To make them (D)lie down safely.
