16 “It will come about in that day,” declares the Lord,
“That you will call Me [a](A)Ishi
And will no longer call Me [b]Baali.
17 “For (B)I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth,
So that they will be [c]mentioned by their names no more.
18 “In that day I will also make a covenant for them
With the (C)beasts of the field,
The birds of the sky
And the creeping things of the ground.
And I will [d](D)abolish the bow, the sword and war from the land,
And will make them (E)lie down in safety.
