Hosea 2:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 And at that day, saith the Lord, thou shalt call me [a]Ishi, and shalt call me no more [b]Baali.
17 For I will take away the names of Baal out of her mouth, and they shall be no more remembered by their [c]names.
18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the [d]wild beasts, and with the fowls of the heaven, and with that that creepeth upon the earth: and I will break the bow, and the sword and the battle out of the earth: and will make them to sleep safely.
