Hosea 2:17-19

New Century Version

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.
¹⁹ And I will make you my promised bride forever.
    I will be good and fair;
    I will show you my love and mercy.
