18 In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field,

and with the creeping things of the ground.
I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land,
and will make them lie down safely.

Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.

and you shall know Yahweh.
