Hosea 2:18-20

New Century Version

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.
²⁰ I will be true to you as my promised bride,
    and you will know the Lord.
