Hosea 2:18-23 - Heartlight

¹⁸On that day I will make a covenant for them

with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air

and the creatures that crawl on the ground.

And I will abolish bow and sword

and weapons of war in the land,

and will make them lie down in safety.

¹⁹So I will betroth you to Me forever;

I will betroth you in righteousness and justice,

in loving devotion and compassion.

²⁰And I will betroth you in faithfulness,

and you will know the LORD.”

²¹“On that day I will respond—”

declares the LORD —

“I will respond to the heavens,

and they will respond to the earth.

²²And the earth will respond to the grain,

to the new wine and oil,

and they will respond to Jezreel.

²³And I will sow her as My own in the land,

and I will have compassion on ‘No Compassion.’

I will say to those called ‘Not My People,’

‘You are My people,’

and they will say,

‘You are my God.’”
