Hosea 2:16-18
New Century Version
16 The Lord says, “In the future she will call me ‘my husband’;
no longer will she call me ‘my baal.’[a]
17 I will never let her say the names of Baal again;
people won’t use their names anymore.
18 At that time I will make an agreement for them
with the wild animals, the birds, and the crawling things.
I will smash from the land
the bow and the sword and the weapons of war,
so my people will live in safety.
