King James Version

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.

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 upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.

    “And in that day, says the Lord, you will say to me, Ishi; and you will never again give me the name of Baali; For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and never again will she say their names. And in that day I will make an agreement for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven and the things which go low on the earth; I will put an end to the bow and the sword and war in all the land, and will make them take their rest in peace. And I will take you as my bride for ever; truly, I will take you as my bride in righteousness and in right judging, in love and in mercies. I will take you as my bride in good faith, and you will have knowledge of the Lord. And it will be, in that day, says the Lord, that I will give an answer to the heavens, and the heavens to the earth; And the earth will give its answer to the grain and the wine and the oil, and they will give an answer to Jezreel; And I will put her as seed in the earth, and I will have mercy on her to whom no mercy was given; and I will say to those who were not my people, You are my people, and they will say, My God.”
