^{18 Ref} In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, And with the birds of the sky, And with the creeping things of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, And will make them lie down safely.

^{19 Ref} I will betroth you to me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.

^{20 Ref} I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; And you shall know Yahweh.
