Hosea 2:16-23

[16] And it shall be at that day,  saith  the LORD,  that thou shalt call  me Ishi;  and shalt call  me no more Baali.  [17] For I will take away  the names  of Baalim  out of her mouth,  and they shall no more be remembered  by their name.  [18] And in that day  will I make  a covenant  for them with the beasts  of the field,  and with the fowls  of heaven,  and with the creeping things  of the ground:  and I will break  the bow  and the sword  and the battle  out of the earth,  and will make them to lie down  safely.  [19] And I will betroth  thee unto me for ever;  yea, I will betroth  thee unto me in righteousness,  and in judgment,  and in lovingkindness,  and in mercies.  [20] I will even betroth  thee unto me in faithfulness:  and thou shalt know  the LORD.  [21] And it shall come to pass in that day,  I will hear,  saith  the LORD,  I will hear  the heavens,  and they shall hear  the earth;  [22] And the earth  shall hear  the corn,  and the wine,  and the oil;  and they shall hear  Jezreel.  [23] And I will sow  her unto me in the earth;  and I will have mercy  and I will say  to them which were not my people,  and they shall say,  Thou art my God.
